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.

Good involved caring doctor. Nurses are nice too but the main secretary who greets you and answers the phone is the most vile obnoxious rudest person ever

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ludwig?
I must've had over 12 attacks that sent me to the hospital in a 2-1/2 year period I was seeing Ludwig. With the last attached, I went to his office complaining of serious abdominal pain and chills. He dismissed my complaints & sent me home saying it was probably stress related & that I was fine. Several hrs later I was in the ER and almost died from peritonitis. Another Dr. was amazed that Ludwig never recommended I have colon-resection. He said I could've died w/next attack.

I found Dr. Ludwig to be an excellent doctor. In particular, I thought he was especially helpful in treating me when standard treatments were not working. Also, I thought he had genuine concern for my health and recovery.
