Always timely, friendly from the front desk all the way through my visit including nurse and doctor. I also work for the Health System and hear all the time at my job how pleased people are with Crosbie Johnson and Eric Hunkele. The only thing I hear contrary is that Crosbie Johnson cannot draw patients blood. The people I interact with trusted her and said the convenience and the way they were never “hurt” meant a great deal to them. They value Dr. Eric as well.

Dr Eric Hunkele has been our family doctor for 16 years now and he has always been wonderful with the kids. The kids know him and feel comfortable with him and he remembers them, what sports or activities they’re in. This makes it easier for the kids to open up to him as they get older and have questions of their own.

I got real good service up there. Dr. Shawn Palmer, this is Terry. He’s been taken care of me for I think about 19 months. So (INAUDIBLE) to the back right now. Anyway, just had a check up yesterday, Thursday. The nurses were nice to me, too, Penny and Shannon, and Rachel, the secretary, they all took care of me real well. So anyway, yeah, they’re real good people. Thanks for having a good doctor, good nurses, good all personnel. Thank you very much. I’ll see you later. Bye.

Dr Hunkele was wonderful, as was his staff! They all made my son feel very comfortable and were incredibly helpful and supportive. They were able to get us in quickly and addressed important issues with kindness and clarity. We will continue to use Dr Hunkele for our son’s care and will encourage our friends and family to seek out his services as well.

As always , Dr. Eric Hunkele did an exceptional job and has always done an exceptional job in providing myself, and my family with the best medical care. He and his staff are top notch and should be the model and set the standard to be followed by all physicians and their staff. I have no problem and never have had a problem with their office. The problem I have is with the administration of Marietta Health Systems and the idiotic decisions they make. Why, pray-tell, would the administration take the blood draw duties away from the office staff???? It was always convenient for the staff to take blood samples directly after the wellness visit ! But now you have to go to another location ???? Which takes more time and probably costs more. It makes no logical sense whatsoever and was probably thought up by some administrator who knows nothing about being a physician.

Visit costs and potential billing amounts need to be equally important for all parties. I must always be the first to ask money questions at this office. And the answers I receive are often along the lines of “wait for your bill.” On this last visit, the receptionist had the most information to date. Before leaving, I had to ask about whether the visit was considered my annual physical covered by my insurance. It appeared as if a record of my bills and insurance coverage was now available on a computer screen at reception (I did not see the screen) and this could be referenced to answer my question. This visit should be fully covered by my insurance. So, things are improving over last year. However, it is truly hard to navigate healthcare needs when you simply do not know your costs from one visit to the next – especially when payment is the final step of preregistration. It is callous and improper for money matters to be an upfront concern for MMHS and then not attended to in a timely manner as information prepared for the patient-customer. It simply cannot be that explicit conversations about costs and payments only happen in the most general of terms at the time of service because a patient asks a question of reception staff – and that the full details are only known once a bill has been generated and sent to the patient. The team at this primary care office is professional, courteous, kind, and good at what they do. I want to make sure they are compensated appropriately for their time, skill, and efforts on my behalf as I focus on my preventative healthcare goals with them. MMHS must do better for both sides of this equation if they are going to be the primary healthcare system for our region.

I wish the Doctors office could still draw blood instead of having to go to a different building. It is my understanding that this started as a covid precaution, but now it will be the norm.

I would of like to have had my blood sample drawn at my doctor’s office like before, instead having to go to another office and fill out more paper work and have to wait another 20- 30 minutes to have it done. Can’t see any good reason why they couldn’t continue to do it like before.

The office girl told me that I didn’t have an appointment the day I went but my card said that I did and I also had an email telling me to come in so I had to make another appointment. I did not appreciate that as I am 86. The doctor didn’t know that I was there or he would have seen me.

I love that my provider is not pushy about medications or procedures, just because it’s mainstream and you’re in that age category. He listens takes history, put everything into perspective before he asked you to do something for him. It’s a really nice relationship.

They should move the blood work diagnostic back to the do actual doctor’s office here in since creating two doctor’s visits. And it’s very inconvenient and not that safe in today’s environment.

It was so much more convenient to have blood drawn in the office. Now especially with covid you have to go to out patient lab & be subjected to more people with possible covid. Not easy for elderly patients either.
