I don't know what I was thinking, I should have read previous reviews on this guy. I would try to discuss my needs and what I expect from a G.P. I don't think we were speaking the same language. INSULTING!! to me and my wife.

Never again...Oksenholt's advice to me after my "exam" was to "Thank God that you are alive for another day"!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me...I had a tumor on my back and he took my money and insulted me. Awful...he did not hear a word I was saying.

I put up with Dr. Oksenholt's abusive behavior and arrogant attitude for too long and finally changed doctors when he put my life in danger. I had a serious illness that jeopardized my health and well-being. I had severe symptoms for 6 months and all he said was that there was nothing wrong with me. Dr. Oksenholt refused to run tests that could have identified the problem. He said I couldn't go to another doctor and I had to accept what he was telling me. I went to a different doctor who ran the tests and scans and identified the problem that required emergency surgery. Had it been left untreated, I could have suffered life-threatening consequences. The only thing Dr. Oksenholt cares about is being right. It's all about his ego. His bedside manner is terrible. He goes to under-developed countries and treats people who have no other choice for medical care. God help them.

I have been with this physician for many years and have always appreciated his humbleness and unique ability to diagnose difficult illnesses. The yearly volunteer work he does in third world countries is also very admirable!

My experience with Dr Oksenholt has always been proffesional and friendly. My wife, daughter and I all use Dr Oksenholt as our family doctor, he has a wonderful bedside manner and interacts well with my 4 year old daughter as well. Highly Rated!

I would highly recommend Dr. Erling Oksenholt to anyone looking for a physician who takes the time and has the intelligence to come up with a proper diagnosis for difficult symptoms. Dr. Oksenholt correctly diagnosed me with a rare stomach virus after other physicians had brushed off my symptoms as a temporary upset stomach. This is the only Dr. that I would ever take my family to.
