Shirley L. Huerter, MD

This doctor truly cared about my heart concerns. However, her methods of explanations left me frustrated. She couldn't understand what I was trying to explain. I felt stupid, and I felt that she thought I was being dishonest. I told her I was on a certain medication, and she kept saying that my charts showed I hadn't been on it for a couple of years. I went home and pulled out the prescription and left her a message on what I found. I had two prescriptions of that drug, and had been on it for the last couple of weeks. Since she had written on my files that I was confused and wouldn't answer her questions, I sent back a message that I was being truthful. This was stressful to me because I'm an honest person. SO, in fairness to her, I looked at the prescription bottles and saw they were almost two years old. The pharmacy sent doubles two years ago. No wonder she couldn't find a record that I was taking them. I disposed of them and got new ones. As stressful as our visit was, she did care about my well-being. I just chalk it up to the two of us having a hard day. I will keep seeing her, and my husband will see her this summer.

It was clear the doc had reviewed My Chart info prior to my visit

The doctor is always patient, thorough and explains my care. I have been in her care for many years

This was my first visit with Dr. Huerter. I have great confidence in her ability to help me through my health issues.
