Recently, I visited this man with an ankle problem that had been bothering me for many years. Before my current employment, I was in the Army for six years. I had been plagued by a bad ankle and was seeking a cortisone injection for relief. I don't know if it was because of my age, or how straight-forward I was about my condition, but upon telling him that I could not take anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen due to kidney disease, he became an interrogator. I apologize in advance for dying of KIDNEY FAILURE, but I did not expect to be grilled and treated like a druggie after sharing said information. I left the office with my jaw hanging open. It seems like every time you try to get help, you have to pass a lie detector test. With 25 years of experience, you would think that this problem has come up before. It may have been a bad day for him, but I will never be back.

Dr. Sommer takes time to listen to your questions and answer them. He is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He is gentle in his approach and compassionate in his care. After not getting results with a previous physician's care, he is a breath of fresh air!
