August 14, 2012

I left with more questions and concerns than what I arrived with. I was disappointed that the care provider could not ascertain the cause of my problem(s). I feel as though I have to do the research to figure out what is ailing me, and yet I am paying for a service that is inadequate.

July 30, 2012

My experience with the physician, as with his nurse, was exemplary. His respectful, pleasant, relaxed, and informative interaction makes me feel confident and appreciative.

Been coming to Madsen Clinic for about five years. Best medical experience I've ever had

June 18, 2012

I am always impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how procedures are explained in detail. I feel that Dr. Ragle and the resident doctors take time to explain in detail different methods of improving the quality of my husband who has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and make recommendations for improving his quality of life, even though my husband refuses to do what is recommended. They also do not talk in medical terms that I do not understand. Dr. Ragle is a wonderful doctor.

AOK

May 04, 2012

I realize that Dr. Ragle probably spent more than the time he has alotted to each appointment to address my concerns and it was very much appreciated.

April 26, 2012

I would highly recommend Dr. Ragle to my friends. Whenever I visit Dr. Ragle's office, he doesn't run me through the examination room like I was just another number, but seems genuinely concerned for my well being.

April 18, 2012

Nathan Ragle is a find and a prize. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him referred to me by another one of his clients who is a friend of mine!

April 11, 2012

I've now been to this doctor twice now. The first time he assured me I had strep throat, when I called back a week later, still not feeling better, I was told by the nurse that bot of my test came back negative for strep. Then when I got sick again recently I decided to give him another shot. He told me I had a virus and that it would go away over time with the use of an counter medication. I left feeling very unconfident in his diagnosis. Over the course of the week all of my symptoms continued to worsen, to the point that I had to make an appt. with another doctor , but I couldnt make it to my Monday appt. so I had to go to the ER where I was informed that any virus I would've had never wouldve lasted two weeks, and he told me it was a sinus infection that has been building since day one. I will never go back to this clinic. And I Definately won't recommend this doctor to anyone.

March 29, 2012

Interested in my concerns. Helpful.

March 23, 2012

I am very pleased with the time Dr. Ragle spends with his patients. I do not feel like I am just another number like some doctors make a person feel. He makes a person feel like they are the only patient he has for that day. It's nice having him for my primary care physician.

March 22, 2012

good

March 16, 2012

Dr Ragle is considerate and I think he is very knowledge, smart and caring

March 02, 2012

You have to like Dr. Ragle. You never feel like he is rushed. He is there for you every moment he's in the room. It's nice to feel connected. I wish he would be slightly more thorough/detailed in the exams ("no stone unturned"), but the connection is good and so much appreciated. He is responsive, caring, and knowledgeable. That combination is difficult to find in most physicians.

March 01, 2012

Dr. R must have taken a course in listening.

February 29, 2012

excellent

February 17, 2012

i alresdy tell many people about the u of u madsen

February 15, 2012

Super smart and articulate. Nice person.

February 15, 2012

The med student or resident (Rebecca) came in first and did a detailed history with me, to understand the background of the problem, as well as the acute/current symptoms. She was professional, and very thorough. She had a genuine sense of concern. I liked how she thought of all of my medical problems wholistically, rather than just focusing on the few symptoms I was presenting that day. I particularly liked how she considered the fact that I was pregnant. She then consulted with Doc Ragle. They came in together, with a great list of solutions that allowed me to manage my asthma and sinus issues, which were likely a contributor of my current symptoms (cold, respiratory infection). Most of the medical advice I had received about my regular inhalers and nasal spray was to avoid them, as much as possible, while pregnant. Dr Ragel and his student came up with alternate meds to help manage the underlying problem. Awesome. A set of class B drugs is a far better solution, than none at all. Already, after only being on the meds for 2-3 days, I can already feel relief in both my asth

February 01, 2012

I like Dr. Ragle fine, but for me, I would prefer like a doctor who comes across as more passionate about health care. He's very mellow, which is good and not good. It's hard to tell if he is a really good doctor but he is a likeable one.

February 01, 2012

Dr Ragel ROCKS! (ha just tapping into my inner child) Seriously, he is very thorough, compassionate, patient. He makes me feel very comfortable and does not rush through the appt. Has a great bed-side manner. We have a great rapport!

January 26, 2012

excelent...

January 07, 2012

Dr. Ragle listens and doesnt interuppt!

January 05, 2012

Dr. Ragle takes the time to address my concerns with genuine interest as well as being very knowleable. If there was an excellent rating, I would rate all the categories excellent.
