Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr.Culbertson has the best bedside manner, is so calm, warm and welcoming and makes you feel like his only patient.

Regular check up
I think Dr Culbertson is a very special doctor. He is a great communicator as well as listens to my female body issues and ways I can treat or help the issue. He advises a simple treatment and lets me know what other treatments are available if that does not work.

Arrogant staff and a superficial exam
Dr. Culbertson's staff is arrogant, unresponsive and uncaring. His exam was very basic and not thorough at all. When I sought out a second opinion, he was not pleased and, since the other opinion was with Cr. Pottorff at an affiliate office, he had it canceled. While he was on vacation, his in-office colleagues refused to assist me in any way with an upcoming biopsy. I'llnever go back.

Dr. Culbertson is absolutely amazing!!!
Dr. Culbertson was referred to me by my sister and brother-in-law, and I can absolutely see why! He is so sweet and actually takes time with you unlike other doctors. He made my husband and I feel so welcome from the first second we met and throughout the whole appointment! He answered all of our concerns with honest answers, and again just took his time with us and made us feel comfortable. We will definitely be recommending him to anyone and everyone that we know! I can’t say enough good about him!!!

I was highly recommended by a family member, after a horrible experience with my previous OB..took one step in the door to know they were the ones! I have been seeing Dr. Culbertson for my pre-natal care, he goes above and beyond always answers all my questions. I'm glad I found this office both front staff and back staff are wonderful in every aspect. Highly recommend this office :)

During my first pregnancy, I switched to Dr. Culbertson in my last trimester and 5 years later, I am still thrilled with the quality he and his staff provide. Dr. Culbertson is supportive, informative, and takes time to listen and respond to all of my inquiries. I highly recommend him and his partners at Midtown OB/GYN!
