Dr. Ellen Walraven, MEDICAL, DOCTOR, MD

Not a doctor

You cannot trust her. If you are coming from another doctor that prescribed you anti anxiety meds she and her practice will actively force you off the meds you need "for your own good". If you're on these meds you will be treated like a street drug user and opioid abuser. Even if she or her supervising doctor allows you to have these meds it will only be for a little while to pull you into her scheme. Once you're good and comfortable she will take them away from you, and if you try to say anything about it, you'll be labeled as a addict and drug seeker. DO NOT TRUST HER

Best Doctor, ever!!

I had the same experience with Dr. Walraven as the previous person did. I sat and waited on the table in the exam room for an hour and a half, with nothing on but the gown for her to come in. Finally, she did, and gave me a very sub-par exam. She checked my heart and looked at my throat, much unlike my previous Dr. who left the practice to go out of state. Five minutes or less is all I got from her. She also elimated a lot of my previously done lab tests. And like the other reviewer, I had to call the office to get them, and they were cranky with me. Glad I called though, because I had an advanced case of hyperthyroidism, that I'm now having treated. I will not be back to Dr. Walraven, nor Healthcore.

I went to Dr. Walraven for my physical exam (my previous physician had moved out of state). Although she was pleasant, her affect was quite flat. Her follow up to some of my answers to her questions and to some of my concerns was not thorough. She performed the most painful pelvic exam I can remember. No one from the office contacted me regarding tests/lab work results except through the online patient portal. That includes the doctor's comments. My previous physician either called me personally or had someone in the office call to speak with me in person. I will not be going back.

this is a one-in-a-million doctor who really cares and really knows what she is doing. highly intelligent, thoughtful and at the same time she retains a playful, engaging attitude that lets you know that under all that learning and clinical experience lies a real fun gal.
