    Dr. Newton was professional and quick to address my issues. He reviewed my medications and helped manage my pain with clear recommendations and referrals. After such a positive appointment, I am choosing him as my new primary doctor.

    This was my first time meeting him. I felt like I could discuss any concerns I had with him. He seems friendly and non-judgemental.

    While I don’t love Optum, and that I’ve lost all my dr’s there except Dr. Newton, I DO love Dr.Newton. He’s right up there with Dr. Emy I. Terms of being the best pcp I have ever had.

    Unless the rules for a physical has changed, there was virtually no actual physical conducted. Despite being super friendly and outgoing, there was virtually no interaction between us, it wasn't encouraged, he was in and out in 7 minutes, the physical as he conducted it was defined by a quick recommendation that I drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fruit and exercise, a very cursory check of my ears and nose, then on to having the nurse take my blood, the doctor sending me to the portal for results. I spent more time and interacted more personably with the nurse taking my weight and blood. Seems like a very very nice man, but encouraged nearly no interaction or relationship.

    Dr. Newton set specific and achievable goals for me. He points out my trouble areas and how I can rectify them as best as possible.

    He was supportive in recommending a prescription and explaining the process of a pre auth med, but it is difficult to get a hold of him and they did not act or reach out when the electronic transmission of the pre auth failed. It took multiple attempts to reach out through multiple paths. I tried using mychart and the contact me form but never got a response. I felt also that the appointment was a bit rushed and that he was trying to push the medication, covered or not covered, while not letting me explain things that I felt was crucial for the pre auth. When the pre auth was finally submitted correctly, my insurance contacted me the next day and said that all the supporting documentation is missing.
