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.

Always caring and considerate of me, Dr. Koeske is very knowledgeable of every aspect involving my current and future health status. I am confident he is aware, and informs me of, conditions past and present I should be thoughtful of. He also encourages a proactive role for me in my care.

I recently became a patient of Dr. Koeske upon the retirement of my previous primary care physician. I have found Dr. Koeske to be every thing I hoped for. He is a caring communicator and and very knowledgeable. I appreciate his timely response to my health questions on "My Chart".

As usual he was thorough in taking history and head to toe exam. He doesn’t seem rushed and did discuss options and plans well. Makes one feel comfortable. His nurse also friendly and thorough. Time was well used.

Very positive. The problem I was seen for could have been being caused by one or both of two different things. His thought after his exam was different than mine has been. But I felt he had carefully listened to why I thought it was the other possibility and ordered an xray to be sure - turns out it was both! It also was good to be able to get balanced information about various options for treatment.

Dr. Koeske has been our family's primary physician for over two decades, and he has served us very well. The visit this morning was both pleasant and factual, answering my questions with an encyclopedic knowledge which serves his patients well. This morning's visit began with a kind greeting at the door and a going over of the required questions concerning the current pandemic. The receptionist thanked me for filling out the pre-check-in on My Chart, and I was called back at exactly my appointment time, where the nurse took my vitals, followed almost immediately by Dr. Koeske's appearance and a professional discussion reviewing my labs etc. I have high regard for Dr. Koeske and would recommend him highly to anyone seeking a family physician.
