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.

I was referred to Dr. Otteman for a colposcopy and to check symptoms for PCOS. She proceeded to just talk about my weight in very rude comments. Such as "you know you don't need to eat a whole pizza, you can just have two slices" without even talking about what I eat. She told me I was 100 pounds overweight and suggested I go on a 1000 calorie diet. My vitals have been normal and my rapid weight gain was why I was referred for the possible PCOs. She didn't believe I had it, even though I showed my portal to her and then proceeded to do more blood work to check the testosterone again which shocker, was highly elevated. I left the appointment crying and almost having a panic attack I also didn't eat for a day and a half because I was so upset. I was completely invalidated and also my care was neglected for the colpscopy and PCOS. I would not recommend going if you are considered overweight to BMI standards.

I felt that Dr Otteman really listened to my concerns and communicated that she wanted to find a way to help me without changing my medication if that wasn't necessary. I made a small lifestyle adjustment at her recommendation and was feeling better with no medication change. I would really recommend her!

Till today I do not not understand why she had sent my wife for test multiple times without reason. The test were not only painful but costly and resulted same results week after week. Our only mistake is that we believed in her. Definitely will not visit her again.

I finally feel like I have a doctor that cares! Dr. Otteman listens carefully to my concerns, and she goes over with me step by step what's needed to get me to better health. I am so blessed to have her as my OB/GYN doctor. She is absolutely great and I highly recommend her!
