The office is clean and everyone was so friendly and professional! Dr. Hauglid had excellent bedside manner and really attentive to your needs!
Verified patient
The staff and provider were kind during my appointment, but unfortunately there was no follow-up as promised. I was told someone would contact me about my MRI within two days, but two weeks passed with no call. My injury worsened and I had to go to urgent care and then the ER. When I called to explain the situation, instead of acknowledging the issue I was simply asked if I wanted to schedule another appointment. I was hoping for follow-up care, not just bill my insurance with no concern or communication.
Verified patient
Was quickly seen and had a nice experience with the whole visit. Really nice and thoughtful doctor! I would recommend him to my friends and family.
Verified patient
The office staff was very friendly and professional, but I don’t think they have their Zocdoc integration worked out. Despite booking in advance and my appointment being confirmed, they called me the day before and left a message to tell me that the appointment time I booked was not available and that they automatically rescheduled me to a different time. When I arrived I had a 30 minute wait and I also didn’t actually see the doctor who I booked with. I met instead with a PA at the office who was very thorough and great, but not who I booked with.
Minimal wait. Doctor helped me find some relief very quickly. He provided several options for treatment, which I appreciated. I'm not 100% but I'm much improved. We'll see how the follow ups go.

Good
Verified patient
Excellent physician. Listens and cares about the patients pain and history. Would definitely, absolutely recommend. Other physicians I’d seen just had brush me off to make money off the situation. Dr. Hauglid even filled out some paperwork I needed because some other practices refused. Great physician and a great mannered personality! Thank you Dr. Hauglid and staff. Communicated with Stephanie prior to the appointment and was informative and helpful.
Verified patient
Not sure if this is Zocdoc fault or theirs but I drove all the way there and then no one was in the office and no one picked up the phone. I don’t want this to be a bad reflection on the doctor because he may be very good and Zocdoc did not update the hours
Verified patient
Capable and communicative. Would recommend.
Verified patient
I actually was not able to meet with the doctor. Secretary asked me to pay upfront seeing the doctor, which I found unusual. I preferred not to confirm the appointment as a result
Verified patient
Oh, definitely go back
