Group Health Associates

I have been a patient with Group Health Associates for 37 years. Enough said!

I was told that as a new patient I could not be seen for five weeks. I felt this was unreasonable and scheduled with another doctor who saw me in three days.

Appointment was on time as scheduled. Dr. was ver thorough and my results from blood work were on time.

Beautifully. A great doc with a gifted surgical hand. I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Very small crowded room. Dr. checked whole body for skin issues. Fast visit and I felt that it was not very thorough.

I have been seeing him for at least 15 years. He is knowledgeable and great at diagnosing issues. He is a nice person. He has a very friendly staff and scheduling is fairly easy.

She found I have a nodule after several tests. I had the option to remove all or half of it and I chose to remove the entire thing. Everything has gone excellent with the doctor. She is very strongly protective in her recommendations for treatments for her patients. She is a very good and personable doctor. She does a great job and is very easy to talk with. Scheduling is easy and I usually schedule ahead of time.

I last visited for a physical. I have been seeing the doctor for about 4 years. It fairly easy to schedule an appointment and I can usually get in in about 1 week. He is very professional and personable. The staff is very helpful and the waiting time in the office is minimal. I can usually see the doctor within 10-15 minutes.

I see them all the time. I like Dr. Bacon, the pediatrician, because he answers questions if you have them ahead of time. He takes time to listen to us. He doesn't rush us through getting in and out of there. He will actually sit there and answer the questions. He talks to the children and he asks them questions instead of just the mother. I have twins that are 5 and another child that is 8. He asks them what they are there for and he doesn't try to talk over their heads or scare them. He is very personable with them and he is encouraging with them.. He's seen the twins since they were babies in the hospital and my older son since he was about 1 1/2 years old. The doctor I see is awesome. She is an endocrinologist. The facilitates are great. The staff is very friendly. They get back to me but they are a little busy. They have had some mess ups. I will absolutely continue to use them.

I like my doctor and I'm very satisfied with her. I use doctors that are both with group health and outside group health. She is my primary care physician and she's always very much on top of things as far as sending records that need to be sent to other providers. When I need records sent to other providers who are outside group health, she does that very quickly. My insurance takes care of the bills.

I love my doctor. It was probably about 24 years.

I arrived about 15 minutes before the appointment time. At the designated time I was taken into the exam room by the assistant. He asked preliminary questions such as what prescriptions I was taking, location of the pain, etc. My blood pressure and weight were ascertained. After the assistant obtained all the information. I was told that Dr. Stolarski would be in shortly. He came in to examine me within 10 minutes (from my past experience with him, he is very punctual). He asked me about the foot pain and then explained that it probably was a tendon that was acting up and based on him performing various tests, decided that I didn't need an Xray because he did not believe anything was broken. He suggested that I treat the area with ice every night before going to bed. I have been doing this for about two weeks now and the foot is getting better, ie less pain. The exam took about 15 minutes.

We've been going to GHA for 16 years and they are wonderful. All the doctors are good, but the pediatricians are truly top notch. And because there are so many offices around Cincinnati, I can always get an appt when I want one.

Dr. Firestein is very knowledgeable in his field and has a great bedside manner. I have been seeing him regularly for several years and he performed an outpatient procedure on me three or four years ago. He is always very pleasant and attentive and listens when I talk. He asks questions to make sure he has addressed any concerns I may have and his medical assistants are very pleasant also.

I have been seeing her since referred by an oncologist back in 2005. I have always had difficulty with the language barrier and she does seem to rush through the appointment. There have been issues due to HIPAA that she was not leaving information as I requested, even though I had the paperwork on file and had asked their office on MULTIPLE occassions to allow the home phone answering machine to get the information, since I don't hide that information from my husband. I do realize she is Indian and that really has no bearing on my thoughts about her. I don't think that she understands that I want questions answered that have nothing to do with the numbers from the laboratory tests. Therefore, I have recently changed to another endocrinologist.

He is amazing and he has helped us with our son. He was phenomenal and he did a great job and I even recommended him to my sister for her son. He is very good and has done this for years. He is really nice. He is extremely friendly and he solved our problem after the first visit, however the follow up visit went extremely well. His staff called to make sure everything went ok after the surgery, everything was just really nice. The billing went well and he was really good about explaining everything that was going to happen before and after the surgery. It was just a really good experience. He is extremely personable.

My Physician is kind, considerate, and thoughtful. He answers my questions, orders necessary tests and is available for further discussion. The use of My Chart enables me to review events, ask questions and receive answers.

I want to the West Ridge office. She examined my face and removed some pre-cancer spots. Did a "fast" exam of the rest of my body. In a hurry and tried to get me to make another appointment in six month right then and there.

Dr. Mangu is very competent and knowledgeable. She listens well and freely answers questions. If you have questions be sure to ask because she doesn't give out much information if you don't ask. She is a very good Dr. As is the case in every Dr.'s office you can expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes after your appt. before she comes in. Overall I am very happy with Dr. Mangu

It went very well. I appreciated Dr. Witsken taking quick action. As it turned out, the spot was not serious, but he sent me to an excellent dermatologist, Dr. Cardone, who I like very much and will go to him in the future. Both Dr. Witsken and Dr. Cardone are very caring and thorough.

I struggled to get an appointment with a dermatologist that was less than 6 months out, but was able to get one in less than a month with them. I went to Dr. Nash several years ago and was very pleased with my treatment for acne.

They were able to fit me in the same day. Exam was thorough and I will follow-up after the MRI. I left with crutches for now until they can see what's wrong and treat accordingly.

I talked through the issues with my feet: neuroma, plantar fasciitis, sensitivity and how I need a soft platform, it cannot be too rigid. He delivered completely rigid insoles. I did the first day 1 h 45 min break-in because he made me feel like I was incorrect and unknowledgeable. As I was wearing them I felt pain going up my legs to my hips, my feet hurting terribly and being very uncomfortable. My feet took many days to recover from that short test period. I went back in to discuss with him and again he made me feel unaware of my own feet and what I need. He said plantar fascia needs rigidity to stretch it. I have not yet gone to another podiatrist but I can tell you what my issue is and how to approach it but I can wear my Merrell's all day long with no pain. he did not like that answer and he begrudgingly gave me a prescription to another location who delivers a softer custom insole. He would not refund my insurance company for the cost of the insoles. He did not explain much to me on that last visit, he was very quiet and typing on his computer. Even if my experience is a-typical I would expect him to be able to verbalize his knowledge in a way that makes sense between my experience and his training. I have been told by foot specialists at runner clinics etc. 'don't let anyone put a rigid insole on you' which aligns with the painful experiences I have had in the past that originally flared my plantar fascia. Net, I think his skills fit a specific need and if you are outside of that skillset he won't know what to do with you.

Excellent. Loved Dr. Shely! She was so great with my 4 year old, and had gave us the kind of doctor / patient friendship that you want for your child. Much appreciated!

It goes pretty smoothly every time. Dr Fieler answers all questions to the best of her ability. She keeps communication open and her staff is efficient as well. I have never had a billing issue with them and my visits are literally headache free.
