Review for Dr. Milam
This doctor is atrocious, but the system might be more to blame. Extremely dismissive of my concerns. Multiple appointments to specialists fell through on over 5 separate occasions. The last time I went to see him was because I had excruciating pain in my calf with a large veiny thing going up it, I...

Review for Dr. Johnson
There seems to be a trend where primary care doctors just act as a referral center. Most of the time when we see him, he offers to give us a referral. Referrals aren't generally needed with PPO's. Nice guy but not really a great primary care doctor.

Review for Dr. Koehler
If I could give a zero I would. Dr. Kaiser was rude the moment he walked into the room during my delivery. He stood in the corner the whole time, behind all the nurses and the doctor who ACTUALLY deliveried my baby. My foot slipped out of one of the nurses hands and almost touched Dr. Kaiser, he...

Doctor was very arrogant and rude during the entire visit. Never asked our concerns and didn't answer any of our questions, just provided snide remarks. He walked in with his hands in his pockets and just looked around and didn't say anything. When we asked what he thought, and he said he didn't...
