Dr. Gottschalk is such a excellent primary care physician . I had been quite sick for eight days prior to seeing her. She throughly listened to my chest(front and back) and told me that she detected congestion. I had several chest x-rays and It was found that I have walking pneumonia. Now I'm receiving medication. Couldn't be happier to have Dr. Gottschalk as my doctor!!!

  PA or med student was a bit dismissive with my concerns. Doctor was attentive and respectful, but I barely worked with her (see previous comment: doctor was only in my exam room for less than a minute)

  I worked with a med stud and my doctor who were both very good and kind. I think that was primary the reason that keeps coming back to UK HEALTHCARE

  I think she really takes her time with her patients. I didn't feel rushed and she answered all my questions. I also really appreciate the use of her online clinics website. She continued to follow up on our visit and explained things well to me. Communication is excellent.

  I believe they did try their best. I unfortunately was not given any direction or recommendation or possible case to my concerns. Doctor did request release of records from years past that I've had these health issues, hopefully the records can help for next time.

  Some of the issues that I mentioned to the nurse were not addressed by the provider, I did not bring them up to the provider

  Dr Gottschalk saved my life three years ago when she gently but firmly recommended a neglected mammogram and staff set it up.

  I've been a patient of Dr Gottschalk's since before she joined the staff at UK Family Medicine. I think so highly of her as a physician and a person that I drive from Danville, KY in order to see Dr Gottschalk.

  Asked for a referral to the Weight Loss/Management clinic but was given a referral instead to someone in Women's Health who was on leave for a year (which is obviously not helpful).

  Dr Gottschalk's resident, Dr Kumar, was obviously very knowledgeable, but spoke so fast I could hardly grasp what she was saying.

  I felt like was kept a breast of my treatment. I feel that *Dr. Gottschalk is always able to answer my questions - I seem to more question when I get home but usually it just general.
- Patient Review

  Excellent.
- Patient Review

  She told me that if I couldnt get in to see my eye doctor to go to the ER. Not everyone can afford the ER. This was a very classist comment, and gave the impression that I was being brushed off.
