Dr. Offerman has been our family physician for 3 decades. During that time he has been unfailingly conscientious and caring, with a degree of professional competency that is reassuring and remarkably insightful. He has seen us through some very difficult times and was able to pinpoint problems and difficulties that eluded some of the specialists to whom we were referred. My only concern is that one day he will decide that retirement beckons. We will be devastated.

I have never had a more compassionate Dr. In my 59 years. He spends the time you need with him? He listens and explains things and doesn't pressure you. His staff are awesome and I love that I can joke with them. I can't say enough good about all of them. Kathy Murphy

Much love and respect for Dr. Offerman and his staff. he has been our family doctor for many years through some difficult times. Staff is excellent and they treat me with respect even when I've been "difficult" at times. Very caring environment. What medicine should be.

I have been a patient of Dr. Offerman's for several months and I am very happy with the care that I've received. As a busy professional, I LOVE the same day appointment scheduling. The convenience is unmatched. And Dr. Offerman provides a convenient web portal to ask him questions and for medication refills. The response time to all services is excellent!

Dr. Offerman, in my opinion, is the greatest doctor I have ever had, over a period of many years. In fact, He saved my life, when following up on bloodwork done by several other doctors, he discovered life-threatening results that had been over-looked. Dr. Offerman called me personally, and sent an ambulance for me immediately. I am forever grateful.

Dr. Offerman has been a wonderful doctor, and his staff are also very helpful and courteous. He is very responsive to questions, and the same-day appointments are a great convenience (he doesn't take appointments ahead of time). If he doesn't know something, he is happy to work to find someone who does. I would certainly recommend him to anyone!
