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.

Compassionate, Down-to-Earth Doctor
Dr. Uhren was always upbeat and fun to see. He brought a lot of knowledge and certifications to the table, such as being one of the top 1% of students in medical school, and he never had a pompous attitude. He took his time during appointments and always seemed to genuinely care about his patients. He was also very compassionate when it came to financial difficulties. There were times that my family couldn't always afford to pay our visits at the time of service and Dr. Uhren's office was always willing to work with me and never made us feel bad or denied service based on our lack of ability to pay. I'm sad that his office is closed, but hope that he is enjoying his retirement.

I switched to Dr. Uhren's practice in early 2017, as I was dissatisfied with many changes at a larger practice in the area. I like Dr. Uhren's plain-spoken, practical approach. He takes time to get to know your health needs. His office sometimes seems a little chaotic, but his assistants are capable. No pretensions, just straight service.

The doctor was pleasant. But when having to reschedule vaccinations for my child it was very unprofessional when it came to the only nurse who could do shots. I as well as many other parents only have certain days off and when requesting that day it seemed an issue or conflict. The environment was unprofessional as the woman trying to figure out what worked for her was rocking a child up and down the halls saying I need to think about it after my child receives she vaccinations we wont return.
