Did not appreciate that he said he was going to fire me as a patient. Tried to tell me it was tough love

Dr Koehler and his Medical Assistant, Chris, are a great team; very in sync with one another. Dr Koehler has amazing recall of prior conversations and my overall health history. I feel he is an excellent partner in optimizing my health for the long term.

Overall, positive experience but I would like more time to discuss issues with my provider. 30 mins is too short. The time spent with him felt very rushed and I did not have a chance to discuss and understand all of the issues with my health.

I tried to make an appt. with my PCP, on line, and got one about 1 1/2 months out. Decided to call his office to make one sooner, but I decided to see this doctor. (I have him once and had a very good experience.)

I have never had a disappointing experience with Dr Koehler! We disagree on one medical protocol but he listens and accepts my reasoning. He's professional and not condescending. Legacy is fortunate to have him as a staff physician and I am lucky to have a practitioner with impeccable character.

Team is very efficient, but friendly. I saw his medical assistant first who asked the basic questions to prepare the doctor. Good practice.

The visit was professional and prompt. Given it was establishing a primary care provider and yearly physical, little to do with any long term problems was done other than discuss appointments that could be made in the future.

Understand there is at least a three week wait for an appointment for a health concern. This Is unacceptable when you rely on your doctor in for care.

Koehler was very dismissive of me and made me feel unimportant during my visit. He verbally chastised me for getting emotional and then having the audacity to say that I was "frustrating him. " Very unprofessional and makes me seriously question going to Legacy for future visits.

Dr Koehler knows how much stress I have had in my life lately due to job loss Etc and yet he chose to take great offense at a comment I made regarding me telling him how he doesn't know what it feels like to get old yet because he Is young . He took such offence to the point of being very angry at me. It was so upsetting I was sobbing for at least a half hour after I left. The front desk girls were very sweet and asked what was wrong. I didn't want to tell them the Dr. Was yelling at me Maybe he was having a tough day, because usually he is quite nice. I don't know, but I was devastated.
