Dr. Karl N Dannehl

Dr. Karl Dannehl has been our primary Dr. for over 20 years and has provided us with outstanding medical care. He has been responsible for saving the life of my wife 3 different times by properly recognizing her dangerous health situation each time and guiding us to the proper facilities and Doctors to rectify her ill health situation. He is actively involved in all different phases of our health care and provides positive motivation for us to be aware of the proper choices, facilities, and solutions to our ills. We feel we are extremely fortunate and blessed to have him as our Doctor and health care warrior!

Dr. Dannehl is excellent. Our family of four all use him. We have several serious and complicated medical issues. He has gone way beyond what anyone would expect to help us with the various problems we have encountered. Smart and caring. First rate physician.

Dr. Dannehl has been my doctor since 1991. He is an excellent diagnostician! He is always available and has been there for me and my husband through sepsis and a stroke. He is the best!

I very much enjoy my association with Dr. Dannehl, while fortunately presently I do not have any really serious health problems, he is always there for me if I have a question

“She” is a man!

Excellent, proactive care focused on my health goals.

This doctor is very rude and doesn't listen.

I cannot imagine a finer, more helpful doctor!

I've been a patient of Dr. Dannehl's for a few years, but I've finally had enough. Although Dr. Dannehl is generally likable, he's incompetent. Here are two examples.I first saw Dr. Dannehl concerning some symptoms I'd been having in my esophagus. He correctly diagnosed my problem as acid reflux. However, he never asked me about my diet. He just basically had me get a needless barium X-ray, and then eventually prescribed me some expensive pills (Prilosec), which I'd be expected to take for the rest of my life. After doing some research, I discovered that pills such as Prilosec are a band-aid, not a cure. They do nothing to solve the real problem and in the long run can cause a lot of harm. Anyway, I stopped taking the pills. Then I changed my diet and eventually lowered my carbs, and now I rarely have problems with reflux. But Dr. Dannehl was of no help in diagnosing the real problem.A little over a year ago, I had some lab work done. Even though my glucose level was in the… pre-diabetic range, Dr. Dannehl called it "normal." So, I had to do my own research and schedule another appointment with him. I pointed out that my glucose level was NOT normal and wanted further testing. He obliged, and the new results were the same. Guess what--he again called these results normal!!! He just told me to get a little more exercise, which was poor advice, because I was already getting a lot of exercise. After doing a lot more research (including paying for my own glucose meter), I discovered that my body cannot tolerate a lot of carbs, so I made some major adjustments. He gave me absolutely NO advice about lowering my carbs or changing my diet. If I'd listened to him, I would've probably ended up with diabetes in a few years. And then last month, I went back for another glucose test--and guess what? Even though they drew several vials, they forgot to test my glucose levels!!Please do yourself a favor and find another doctor who is competent.

Dr. Dannehl is an unusual physician -- he treats a patient as if the patient is an intelligent human being who knows what s/he is talking about re: his/her illness and takes their word for it.
