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.

Avoid like the plague. does not want to listen. I went in with active hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's and was told everything's fine. I suffered for a couple of months more before a normal physician helped me find the causes. She's an endocrinologist for pete's sake. The staff is abysmal and clueless. DO NOT GO

I have a rare endocrine condition, and Dr. Drange had an extraordinary breadth of knowledge. She showed great compassion, and excellent listening skills. I regret moving to far away to continue seeing her as needed.

Outstanding doctor, caring, thoughtful and compassionate. She listens carefully and never rushes a patient through. I am very lucky to have found her. She carefully calibrates your medications and I feel better than I have in many years since I starting going to her.

I have been going to her for several years. The first several times I saw her she listened well. The last couple of years she has been very abrupt and rude. She cuts me off and won't let me finish questions. She just keeps saying in a very demeaning way that I don't understand how things work. She's very holier-than-thou. When I can find someone else better, I will switch. In the meantime, you have to go in with VERY thick skin because of her lack of bedside manner.

I have been Dr. Drange's patient for over 15 years and am well qualified to render my opinion. That office is always very busy but she is never too busy to return my calls ON THE SAME DAY in the event that I have medical issues. Dr. Drange always reviews and analyzes my blood glucose readings which I submit during each visit and adjust my insulin accordingly. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. Not once did I doubt her ability, knowledge and experience.

After being told a blood test would help me manage my sugar, I asked for my lab results to be emailed to me. They were not sent. I asked twice more over a week + and still don't have them. They want to see you often, bill your insurance and collect your copay. Draw blood for lab work as a revenue source. Drange is OK but the whole office is very hard to deal with. Never answer the phone. Must leave voicemail. Make you wait. You will feel like they are doing you a favor.

Called twice and left message during regular business hours to try and schedule urgent appointment. Took office 4 days to return call and then earliest appointment was 6 weeks out. Zero effort to try and find earlier appointment by office staff. Will not be recommending this office/physician to anyone.
