I have called twice to schedule an appointment. Yesterday the girl answered and then started talking to another employee explaining how the doctor was an hour behind. I hung up. Because I am very interested in seeing this doctor, I called again today and they answered with "hold please". This doctor might be great but it sounds like I am not the only one scared away by her front office staff.

Don't depend on this place. I made an online appointment for a COVID test for travel on Memorial Day weekend. Everything was good until they called me and told me that they are closed for the holiday. The problem with that is, they called me two days after I booked the appointment and a day before my trip. They don't Update their website. Very disappointed. If I had a choice to give less than one star, I would give them -5 stars. Very backward.

Dr. Gutsmann and Amanda are great, but their staff are absolutely horrible. I've been placed on hold and forgotten about numerous times. I've been told they will fax something and they don't. My pharmacy has requested prescription refills and they never get done. Two times in a row I had an appointment scheduled and when I show up I'm not on the schedule The second time it happened the office wasn't even open. Yes, that's right.they scheduled me for a day they weren't even open.
I show up and the office is closed because they're remodeling. Read the other reviews, there are a lot of them discussing how bad the staff is. If you're thinking about becoming a patient here. DO NOT!

Rude, condescending, mocking and Very un-educated support staff; Med tech was horrendously unprofessional from first vitals to end of appointment. Med tech was untrained and physically assaulted my arm after an injection instead of putting bandage immediately to protect injection site from germs, she used two fingers to aggressively rub injection site PRIOR to bandage without warning or explanation. Ridiculous violation of personal body. Made report, too bad because NP Amanda is AWESOME.

I've been seeing Dr. Gutsmann for awhile for thyroid issues. She's great, & she's the only reason I continue with this office. Her office staff is very lacking in organization. They need an EXPERIENCED office manager to manage this office. It is almost impossible to get answers & to receive a return phone call. I had a lab sample lost & they have yet to explain how, or why, this happened. The only answer I get, is we are looking into it.
It's been several months, I think it would be fair to say that they stopped looking into it. There are just so many frustrations with this office that makes me wonder if it's worth it to continue here.
