Dr. Hueftle was a joy to work with; willing to listen to me ramble on, told me her thoughts about my care / medication in language that was easily understood.

I have always felt that Dr. Hueftle really took the time to review my chart and history and to consciously address any issues or concerns I may have. She also was the one who diagnosed my osteoporosis two years ago and to prescribe medications which have helped it. No other doctor had apparently even thought about this.

Dr. Heuffle is very good. I have referred several friends to her.

Doctor seemed rushed and at one point said she could only take one more question. Though we did review some things I felt overall a lack of concern and who ever her next patient was, was more important than me. I see her notes indicate she spent an hour on my visit. That was not the time spent with me personally. There is more but will not go on. This does not feel like a good fit. It's best perhaps for both of us if I find a new doctor.
