Dr. Lillestol has by my primary care physician for half of my 70 years, and he cared for my parents long before that. When I am with him in the exam room, I am caused to feel that I am the most important person in his life at that time, and that I have his total and complete attention. I have total confidence in leaving my healthcare in his hands.

Dr Lillestol is a great physician! He listens to my concerns, and addresses them. Also, when I was hospitalized a year ago, he visited me every day, even during a snow storm. I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care I receive from Dr. Lillestol!

this doctor was highly recommended. I had a high expectation from him. Instead I found him very dis-organized. He did not have my lab results when I went to see him. I went back to my old doctor at Meritcare. All I can say these so called independent doctors are ALL interested in money. He wanted me to run a lot of unnecessary testes.
