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 would highly recommend Dr. Ludwig!
Excellent doctor! Makes you feel that she really cares about you. Listens to everything you have to say. Gives you all the information you need. Friendly attitude. The best primary doctor that I have ever had. I am almost 80 years old and I wouldn't think of going to another doctor. She is the best.

The best GP I've ever had
I've been dealing with Dr Ludwig for many many years. The latest appointment follows the same MO as all of her appointments. Her assistant does a thorough intake. And then Dr Ludwig comes in within a minute or so to go over what brought you in. I have a body that is breaking down, so it's a revolving door of issues. She is very empathetic to my condition. She does what she can for me, & refers me to other doctors as needed. I can't speak highly enough about MY Dr Ludwig. Her current assistant that does intakes is also very good. I refer to everyone is Team Ludwig. I would recommend her to my friends and family. As a matter of fact I have. ** I am not looking for a response, I just wanted to be sure to include my review for Dr Ludwig.**

Dr. Ludwig probably. The coldest physician I have ever been to. Although I have seen her only a few times (I intend to change doctors within this practice asap), she has never smiled, never said hello, and has never even asked how I was. Breezes in and out. No personality whatsoever.

Love love love her, first time in all my 43 years iv'e found a doctor who actually takes the time to listen. And she spent a lot of time with me on my first appointment, which made me feel like she really cares for her patients.

Been going to her since I was 21, and I honestly say I couldn't be happier. The way she takes the time out to explain situations, shows that she genuinely cares about the patients health and wellbeing.

She is an awesome doctor. When something goes wrong she does not just grab for a prescription pad, she will actually give you advice on what you can do to make yourself well again. She highly prescribes exercise and ask me how I am.
