Dr. Kimberli Guelde, MD

Every visit I feel like I am the primary focus of the time of my appointment. Having a doctor that knows and remembers you and your conditions makes you feel safe and cared for. I have not come across much that is not in the doctor's knowledge base. I know no one knows everything. It sure feels like I have a caregiver that stays current.

Dr Guelde makes unfair assumptions about her patients from the first visit, then treats them based on those incorrect assumptions. She has no comprehension or empathy when you're in pain. She does not like to prescribe medications that have helped you if you ask for them. And I'm not even referring to controlled substances.

Rushed visit. I had a very bad headache. I mentioned this 3 or more times. No response what so ever. I told her the back of my head felt swollen. I also had pain in my shoulder. She was certain it was a virus without hearing all I had to say. Two days later I had to go to the ER for my heart fluttering and the extreme headache. I was hospitalized for 4 days for Afib.

This provider has absolutely no concern or compassion for the disabled. You will be left to writhe in pain for over an hour and then be screamed at if you say something about it when she finally appears. If you have too many comorbid conditions, she will just stop responding through mychart and leave you to suffer. She is not professional and does not provide adequate care. Be warned and seek care elsewhere. If zero stars were an option, that would have been more appropriate.

> Difficult to schedule appointments >> Constantly booked (might be booked out for months at a time) > Lacking communication between the OSF hotline & in office staff > Dismissed mental health regarding weight gain > Stopped treating me kindly when I established her as my primary on paper Worth noting: The only time I felt seen & heard was when she has a med student shadowing her. This was either my 1st or 2nd visit, so I saw no issues early on. I’m glad my insurance changes at the end of the year.

Considering a different doctor as been seeing doctor for a few years with unresolved issues. FNP on team not helpful.
