He listens! Let me repeat he listens. I saw Kurt for my Wellness visit. We went over lab results & talked about ways to change my diet to help with several health issues. I had a referral for a cardiologist in the weeks before I saw Kurt & he did not listen. That doctor had insisted I was on several wrong medications & needed to be on GLP drugs. I was so stressed from that interaction I actually started wishing I hadn't said anything about occasional shortness of breath. During my visit with Kurt he assured me if the tests results from the cardiologist showed I needed to continue to see a cardiologist that they would find me not only someone who wasn't a 45 minute drive from home and someone who would listen to the patient. Kurt reviewed family history, and recommended foods that would help with high blood pressure, to not upset my colitis & not set off a gout attack. I left the appointment feeling better about my self & the test results plus ways to improve my eating habits. I left feeling a lot less stressed & that he had my best interests in proceeding with the cardiologist for now.

Kurt made my visit very relaxing. I felt at ease discussing my health condition with Kurt. He took the time to talk with me and explained everything in terms I could understand. I will ask to see Kurt again on my next visit.

During my visit ([omitted]) , I was very impressed with Kurt. However, the followup proved to be a disaster. After two phone calls and a direct question to Kurt using the portal, I am still waiting for my blood test results to be reviewed and a followup phone call as to how I should proceed. I am very concerned since for the first time I was given a Prediabetes rating on the results that I received on [omitted] from the laboratory that conducted the blood work. I guess no one else is concerned.
