Physician spent 4 whole minutes with me. He was mostly concerned about giving me prescriptions. I had asked for a full body scan during scheduling and with MA, but physician said he didn't have time ("running behind schedule") and that I'd have to reschedule to get a scan. Seriously!!? I came to appointment to see him for 4 minutes and not get what I needed? Because he was running behind? Very disappointed, won't be back and will tell others to avoid this doctor. Even the MA apologized to me for doc's behavior.

I expressed a concern about a skin condition in my ear. Dr. Sontheimer offered a prescription to help this. However that offer got lost in the rest of the visit and the prescription was not sent to my pharmacy. I had to call back the next day and request it again. It was filled and taken care of very well.

Dr. Sontheimer, aside from being very professional, is a very personable man. He recently removed a melanoma from my husband's back and In addition to referring him to a dermatologist oncologist for follow up, he called him twice. I was impressed by his patience both on the phone and when I was the patient. This is something you don't often experience these days.

After a few minutes of whole body exam, he told me he couldn't remove a dark spot because it's purely cosmetic. I was then told that a small cyst on my upper back could be excised but not by him nor at this appt. Finally, he was trying to wrap up the encounter when I asked him about treating toe nail fungus. He told me he couldn't address that issue because it would take too long and he is only allowed to spend 8 minutes with each patient. He then told me to make another appt if I wanted learn ways to treat the fungus. He said he had to go because another patient was waiting, turned around and walked out the door.
