    I am a new patient having been a life long (almost) patient of Dr. Schifferdecker until he retired. There have been a few bumps in getting placed with a new doctor but I found Dr. Doran took time to get to know me and go over my records, answering any and all questions and concerns. I did not feel rushed at all.

    Same as facility. He was OK. Gave decent enough medical recommendations. Some of them seemed to be kind of bizarre/not supported with up to date information. He missed asking important follow up questions about some of my complaints, or did not seem to want to wait for me to give a complete answer at times about my health quest and problems. Seemed to want to rush to a conclusion he determined was the cause of my problems halfway through my explanation.
