Dr. Vonholten today ignored all my healthcare needs and questions and concerns, provided no solutions and was blatantly disrespectful to my wife and I.

Rude, arrogant, obnoxious, condescending A>>hole. I have never encountered a doctor that wouldn't allow you to speak. Shoots from the hip on all responses. Freeman shouldn't allow him on their campus, unless he is a patient.

Just rude and “know it all”. Interrupted me and didn’t listen to the whole complaint. Every response he gave was in an aggressive manner. His nurse was very good and friendly.

Terrible doctor. Tried to tell me I was misdiagnosed and that I might need surgery because he thought it'd be "interesting". I refused the idea of an unecesary surgery at my age and he said I should see a different doctor. He was in the door way before I could even ask to refill my seizure medicine. Feel likes he's way too young to be practicing. Felt like he was trying to open me up just because it'd be cool.

Courteous most of the time. Forgets what he has done for you the last time he saw you even if only a month or two. Doesn't he look at your record before coming in? One visit told me we were going to have to take me off one medication and do another. I had been on it for several years successfully and I hesitated. He said into his recorder that I didn't want to change at this time. So I thought on it and finally decided to try something different. Next visit I told him I wanted to stop this medication and he told me "you are going to have to keep taking it" totally unaware I was complying to his previous decision to change medications as though he had never said such a thing. I am bitterly disappointed...
