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.

Great Primary Care Doctor
I am not sure what experiences people had many years ago, but Dr. Breitweiser is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I dont think I have ever had an issue and he openly talks about what ever concerns you may have.

Every time I have come in to his office he has been nice and caring. He remembers stuff about me from years ago and I only go once a year for a physical and annual check up. I am sure the only reason why most of his reviews on here is negative is because people want to be put on medications, but Dr. Breitweiser is quite thorough and won't put people on medications without testing or proper documentation. Wholeheartedly recommend this man.

I took my daughter to see this guy, what a mistake. Don't use him, there are so many other choices. If he was the last doctor in town I would drive 200 miles to see a different doctor.

Basically nothing in this doctor's care philosophy section is true other than the fact that the only medication he believes in are SSRIs, but he never explains how they work other than "well, it has helped some people." The part where he says that he taylors treatment to the patient is completely false. He taylors the treatment to himself. I've never visited a doctor with a more one sided, non flexible, unempathetic mindset. If you or a loved one is seeking care please avoid this doctor.

This Dr. is a joke. He doesn't listen to the patient or even remember what medications they can or cannot take. Have had to go in multiple times for the same issue when it should've been taken care of the first time. Don't go here.
