“Very friendly, kind and gentle. Knowledgeable, though maybe a little old fashioned. I highly recommend Dr. Moehlen. I've seen him a handful of times over the last year. He's always available for fairly short notice appointments. He's in favor of pain management for iud removal/insertion, which was such a relief for me after a terrible experience with a different provider. He seems to actually care about his patients and remembers me when I come in, which is so refreshing. He will take the time to answer questions and isn't judgemental or dismissive about my concerns or pain. I feel like I can trust him to give me the best possible care. He also tells charming, short, little stories about his life sometimes, and asks me about myself. I actually really enjoy that because it breaks the tension and anxiety I have about pelvic related healthcare. ”

“Scheduled an appointment through zoc doc which showed availability only to arrive at a closed office. Called answering service who confirmed office was open today only to receive a follow up call from their messaging office 15 minutes later stating the office was in fact closed. Took time off from work for the appointment. Not happy with the outcome or lack of regard from the doctor’s office.”
