James R Hess, DO

Dr Hess is a wonderful caring dr. with excellent bedside manner . Helpful with all treatments and the explanation of why and how it’s going to help you . Was very lucky to find him best endocrinologist I have seen . Very hard to get an appointment but well Worth the wait office staff is very friendly and helpful all around excellent experience thank you very much B.W.

Doctor Hess does the absolute bare minimum. I went to him for 3 years and he was under/ improperly medicating me. Every time I would ask him about new medications/ why nothing was working- he would tell me crazy elaborate made up reasons as to why I wouldnt take such medications so he didnt have to do the extra leg work (more blood tests/ tests in general). I eventually left for another opinion, and 2 new doctors later- they both agreed that he wasnt medicating me correctly, setting me back YEARS in treatment, and put me on new medications and EVERYTHING went back to normal within 6 months. All of my levels were back to a normal range, I lost a lot of weight, and I feel so much better. Doctor Hess is lazy and too conservative for this field. I really urge every patient seeing him that you should get a second opinion.

Dr. Hess has been both accurate, prompt and compassionate while dealing with my issues. When I needed to be seen following testing which was concerning, I was igotten in the next day. He spends as much time as you need to feel comfortable, and answers as many questions as you ask. I've followed him to his current location, and am planning to stay

He is not a good doctor. Don't waste your time. He may seem to be caring but he isn't. He should go into another profession.

Was a patient of Dr Hess. Called for a appt and blood work. Several phone calls back & forth for blood work Rx. Refused to give me Rx because I haven't been in to see him. I said I'd make a appt for visit they didn't have open appt for weeks so I couldn't get in to see him. I needed my medication levels checked. He wouldn't give me Rx and didn't had appt. so what was I to do? I asked his secretary to ask him please give me Rx and I'll take first appt I could get in. No was his answer. He doesn't care about his patients! Only $

Do not go to this Doctor. He may seem good and caring at first but he is heartless and doesn't deserve the title of doctor. He should win an Oscar for impersonating a caring physician. When you are really ailing and need answers he will leave you in a lurch. He really couldn't care less about his patients and acts inhumanely when you need to ask hard questions which may call into question the correctness of his diagnosis. I have never written a review before but felt compelled to warn others so they don't get sucked in by his fake boyish charm.

my wife is hypothyroid and visited this doctor, who came highly recommended. We found him to be nice, but his advice concerning side effects of her medication was superficial at best and he took very little time explaining her case to her, which was complicated.He doesn't have the interest or courtesy to actually speak with patients on the phone for follow up questions, but has his SECRETARY relay answers to the patient."Cookbook" recomendations you can get out of a text book. Oh, and by the way, I'm a physician myself!

Dr. Hess is an outstanding Endocrinologist who is a compassioante as he is talented.
