    He's the most caring, down-to-earth Dr I have EVER met. Genuinely care about his patients ALWAYS follows up (that very rare these days). Won't go anywhere else.

    I personally like Dr. Arhelger but some people require a doctor that is more sociable. Dr. Arhelger is very professional and does not small talk.

    Reception asked me to show up 25 minutes early because Dr. Arhelger likes to stay ahead of his schedule. He wore very casual attire, and for the whole 5-10 minutes he was in the room, it seemed like he was trying to get out of there as fast as possible. Somewhat dismissive of my concern, offered zero medical discussion, told me he'd write up lab order, then blasted out of there. And somehow that cost $219. I gave him a point because sometimes a quick/efficient appointment is nice, but not so much when I have to show up extra early for his sake.
