Since the covid pandemic I have lost hope for the medical field as whole.I felt like noone really cared anymore.However, I was very very impressed with the information the Dr. Walked into the room knowing about my specific situation. When I say he looked over records he knew about hospital stays, reactions to medicines, the whole nine yards. He didn't just throw a diagnosis at me he took the information he had, test results etc and asked me questions to pin point a huge contribute to my problem. Constant eye contact while br... read more

My dad went to see this Dr with what we thought might have been Dementia. He did the 3 word test, ask him questions… We told him what we had been seeing. He diagnosed him with Dementia and put him on medication. He did not offer to do any test, EEG, CT, anything . But at that same appointment, he was excited to talk to my mom about her Restless Leg and get her to try a new medication. A few months later, My dad was recently admitted to hospital for a fall he had, long story short, He does not have Dementia. He has had his ri... read more

I’ve read the negative reviews about Dr Diethelm, and I must say, that anyone who thinks negatively of him doesn’t understand him. He is an exceptional physician, and he may not be a sweet talker, but it’s because he is focused on solving the problems his patients present with.While he may not sit and cut up with you, he genuinely cares about his patients. He listens to every word, and he gets straight to business trying to heal, and help. All you have to do is look into this man’s eyes, and you will know just how much he ca... read more

I have been repeatedly disappointed by Dr. Diethelm, or Dr. D'ham, as some call him. He's arrogant & entirely too quick to throw around a terminal illness diagnosis. In my uncle's case, Dr. Diethelm says ALS within 10 minutes of talking to my uncle and having had no tests run to confirm it. He doesn't listen & instead interrupts patients to somewhat jokingly remind them they're terminal so other health issues don't matter. Further, he opts to offer pain pills or blocks rather than trying to find the reason behind pain. My un... read more

I’ve been seeing Dr Diethelm for about 2 years. He really listens, wants to get to the root of your problem, and is very caring and professional. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Diethelm for many years. He is caring and extremely pleasant. His office is top notch as well. I have had nothing but good experience with Dr. Diethelm.

I have neuropathy and circulation disorder. I need a good neurologist and was referred by a friend to Dr Diethelm. I told him about being taken off Flexril after 21 yrs and I had some withdrawal, I didn't sleep for a few nights. He examined my feet and legs and told me I do have Neuropathy but there's nothing he could do for me. Then he said, I can't give you Flexiril. I told him that's ok. at the time, I didn't know that he assumed I was there to get it!! I don't want any narcotics! We left and later I realized that is what... read more
