Was told I needed a variety of tests to look for a very scary possible source of my migraines. Office staff won't fax the orders. Give suspect reasons it hasn't been done and then still don't do it. Weeks.

I have always had a very good experience with this Dr. Dietham (been seeing him more than 2 years). I love his nurse practitioner, she is wonderful! Andrea always makes me feel like I am special and takes a lot of time with me.

My Family DR. thought I was in the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease an made an appointment with Dr. Diethelm who, after a thorough examination verified I did have Parkinson's and explained there was no known cure. He sat down and explained what could possibly in the future gave e medication and some exercises to do. he did not seem to be in a hurry and answered all my questions. I have been seeing him ever 6 months for 5 five years an am very pleased. He has always been smiling and is very kind to me/. His staff is very friendly and helpful.

best doctor i have ever had in my 75 years of going to doctors. he has restored my opinion of doctors. he really listens to you and is great when it comes to explaining your condition to you and/or to family members. i can't say enough about him and his staff. i have had to switch doctors before because of negative staff but not his. they were very nice and helpful.
