Paul Carl Samundsen, MD

Excellent doctor

I had been seeing this doctor for a problem with my hip/legs. He seemed to be baffled by the problem. I suggested that it might be the onset of MS. He takes "my" word for it and schedules MRIs and a visit with a neurologist. After months of enduring terrible pain I went to a chiropractor to try and get some relief. They took and x ray and immediately pointed out that my hip was shot and would want to consult an orthopedic specialist. I go back to Samundsen with the chiropractors primitive by modern standards x ray. He's like ...Oh, your hip is shot. You'll want to see the orthopedic surgeon. So, Dr Samundsen may be a nice guy and all. But he can't diagnose his way out of a wet paper bag. I'd rather see a taciturn professional than a bubbly friendly imbicile.

Dr. Samundsen takes the time with us to make sure he understands our problem and then takes the time to be sure we understand what he is thinking about the problem. I am extremely sorry to find out that he is no longer in the Tomahawk Ministry Health Clinic and wish I knew what happened that he is gone. He is truly the physicians' ideal. God bless you Dr. Samundsen wherever you are. we will miss you more than we can say.
