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.

Over a 3 month wait for an appointment. That is utterly ridiculous.

I wouldn't recommend Dr. Botsoe! Getting meds in a timely fashion can be ridiculous! She is entirely to busy and being over booked to properly care for her patients! She has staff members that are very unprofessional...to get most done you'll have to go through the office manager!

I spent several weeks searching for Dr Botsoe after she left LaGrange. She has been my doctor over 10 years and she is the best, particularly at listening and making sure you have the care, support and meds needed.

I am so pleased to have a Female physician, finally. She's very attractive, intelligent and thorough while evaluating and doing an assessment. She skillfully questions; and she evaluates the answer, which includes"what's not said." She evaluates related "systems," For example 'cardio-respirtory; knee pain-spinal pain [neuro], referred pain, etc... She's concerned about 'diet and supplements.' She also assessed emotional health and GYN...She is a "head to toe" M.D. & the ability to perform ADL'S.

Dr. Botsoe spent about 30 minutes with me on my first appointment. She thoroughly took my family medical history, next of kin and requested a preventive follow up in three months since I am new and 60. She is personable and liked working this patient. I am grateful to have found her and made her my internal medicine doctor.
