Dr. Emmer may have been a great doctor “back in the day” but he is not familiar with the options for current treatments. I was also very disappointed with his lack of COVID precautions.

It is quite the understatement to say that in the last 9 years of having chronic illnesses, I have seen hundreds of doctors and been to the hospital for emergency treatments/admissions approximately 90 times. Dr. Emmer is among the absolute best I have worked with. It is abundantly clear that he is caring, compassionate, detail-oriented and highly intelligent. His staff are as equally impressive. I am absolutely delighted I found his practice and am excited about the prospects of having this medical team in my corner.
