Dr. Otto is not just a top notch doctor but a really great person as well. Both my wife and I have been patients of his for several years and he is incredibly thorough and professional. I can honestly say he is one of the best family doctors I’ve ever had. He has a great bed side manner and takes all the time necessary to answer all your questions, and genuinely cares about his patients. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

New patient. Arrived for my appointment and Dr. Otto had an emergency and was not in office. They said they could not reach me to let me know. I asked if they received email I had sent previous week (with forms they requested from me) and after some time young lady at front desk informed me “It went to spam.” Therefore they did not order my records from previous out-of-state doctor. Very unorganized. Will not go back.

Dr. Otto has cared for me for three years. Also, he care for my father in the last year of my father's life, before he died of cancer. Dr Otto is the kind of compassionate Dr. you meet once in a lifetime. I will see Dr. Otto til the day I die or the day he retires.
