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.

Dr Fauer is the BEST!
Dr Fauer is the most thorough doctor. He quickly diagnoses and treats his patients. He is personable, reliable and trustworthy. Our family will follow him wherever he goes. ??

I had my annual physical and he failed to : check my heart and lungs with a stethoscope; run an ekg since I have a minor heart condition that needs a watch, did not exam my ears or throat, and did not do a digital prostate exam. Basically we talked and he sent me for labs. This is not a professionally annual physical. On previous years visits with him, all of these things were done. He changed offices and is now working for a division of Optum . . .Stay away for your health.

this man got my dad hooked on fentanyl for over five years. he nearly died, and he just kept pumping him full of opioids. it wasn't until his insurance changed and he was forced to go to a new doctor that they got him off it. if i ever met this man again, i would have some choice language for him. you are literally killing your patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Fauer for about 30 years. I have had to temporarily change doctors a few times due to insurance and have always gone back as soon as I could. He is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and willing to treat complicated conditions. He does not pretend to know everything and will consult with specialists when needed. I may not be in the greatest health and have multiple issues that are not necessarily treatable, but that is not because of his care. He has done more for me than any specialist ever has. I sincerely believe I would not be here today if not for him. He has saved me many times when my health was in a downward spiral over the years. When he needs to take extra time with me he does, so I understand if he is ever running behind which is surprisingly pretty rare. Please don't ever retire! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see you anymore. Thank you for all you have done for me, my parents, my children, and my grandchildren. You are the best!

I have been seeing Dr. Fauer for 5 yrs. + and he is the BEST primary doctor I have ever had. If he is accepting patients I would get in ASAP. It has been a while since he has been open for new patients. He is real & you are not just a chart number. He truly cares & I do believe he looses sleep at night trying to figure out a patients aliments.

I had a scheduled physical Tue Nov 19th; and at the last minute, mt wife needed an EKG and blood work for surgery Fri Nov 22nd. I emailed, the office manager, Heather, and asked if she could fit in my wife, working with my schedule. Heather got us scheduled at the same time on Nov 19th. The EKG and blood work was done efficiently. My wife liked Dr Fauer (manner) so much, we designated Dr Fauer as her PCP. This was service beyond what I expected. Many thanks due to Heather and Rebecca in the office.

Excellent Experience: My parents both needed a new physician, and we were referred to Dr. Fauer. We did have an extended wait for the first appointment and he may have been a little gruff initially, but he wanted to insure that he understood the issues both of my parents were experiencing. His examinations and treatment are complete and thorough. His staff is polite and professional. Over all we are very pleased with our decision to switch physicians. We don't mind the wait, since we suspect he is spending as much time with his other patience as he did with us.

My 1st appt with Dr. Fauer was rather disappointing. My appt.time was 10:30am & didn't actually see him until 11:30am. For meeting him for the 1st time he was not very friendly & was a bit brusque. I was trying to answer his question "So why exactly are you here" but he was impatient & kept interrupting me. I am 66yrs old & if a doctor does not have the time to address my issues then I should probably find a different doctor. We are not cattle to be ushered in & out - we are people with real life issues.

Dr Fauer is simply the BEST! He thinks "out of the box" so he can identify issues that a person is having instead of prescribing pain meds like many DR's do. His staff is reachable by phone or email so I can communicate with them and get a response. He has helped me through a tremendous experience with a bad back surgery and a stroke. I attribute my incredible recovery to his great care. I would highly recommend him!

Dr Fauer has been my physician for over 5 years now. He may run behind some times but it is only because he is so thorough and patient. I never feel like he is rushing me or I am taking too much of his time. He correctly diagnosed an issue with my leg that even my dermatologist could not figure out. I highly recommend him as a strong all around family physician.

Dr. Fauer has been our doctor for 15+ years. There is no other family practice doctor I would trust. He truly listens to all of your health concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Fauer. In my opinion, he is one of the best family practice doctors in the the valley.

Horrible. You call and get directed to a voicemail to get told that someone will return your call in 24 to 48 hours. When you do reach someone, they're too busy laughing at their side conversations then to what you are telling them. I receive better service at my veterinary hospital then I do at this place.

Horrible office and staff. The doctors are great but the support staff couldn't are less about the patients or your health. The staff sends you to voicemail and when you leave messages they ignore them and don't return calls to patients or other doctors offices. If you care about your health both physical and mental AVOID THIS PLACE!
