Practice Philosophy: It is my hope that patients desire good health and engage in their health care. I find it always best to engage the patient in their health care and encourage lifestyle modifications.

    I was just there for an annual physical. So no issues

    Dr flemmer is extremely kind yet professional. She treats me as a person she cares about.
  • May, 16 2024
    This was my first visit with her and she was so caring.
  • Apr, 24 2024
    I saw a new side of Kristen, glad there was no facemask.she seemed much more friendly!
  • Apr, 23 2024
    Spent a good amount of time with me. Concern about making sure I follow up an a couple things.
  • Apr, 17 2024
    Provider seemed in a rush and gave me very generic treatment. She treated me like a stereotype for someone my age, not listening to how active and able I am for my age. She prescribed a new medication without explaining what it was supposed to do or if it had side-effects. My review recommended things I am already doing. She did not commend me for my good health practices, such as regular exercise or a well-rounded diet.
  • Apr, 16 2024
    Dr Flemmer was great to visit with and showed compassion for my health and concerns. She was engaging and a joy to speak with.
  • Apr, 14 2024
    She listened very carefully and very knowledgeable about the care I needed.
  • Apr, 12 2024
    I will be contacting the manager of the clinic to let them know of our terrible experience. It was totally uncalled for. We have been with multicare forever and have never been treated so poorly!
  • Apr, 12 2024
    I was a very happy patient before I was notified of a change in doctor and patient care last year. I had looked forward to this appointment. However I left so disappointed! Doctor never asked me how I felt that day instead I was given a questionnaire on how I felt in the past 2 weeks. Plus, I was told I was healthy but I am not. I am obese person. How can I be healthy? I was not asked if I had other health issues or concerns. I was told I can do a physical exam and blood work.Why? I was just told a minute ago I was healthy. Do I have to do this so the doctor has something to talk to me about? I was not explained what the bloodwork would entail either. I don't want to get billed for something that my insurance may not cover. I wish I can go back to who I was assigned before or at least give me an option who I could see going forward. If I knew it would be a consultation visit I should have been told I could have a online appointment instead.

    Dr Femmer is very caring person who listens and gives advise I'm happy with her. Women understand women.
  • Apr, 8 2024
    I've been having a difficult time and it takes me awhile to build a rapport. I was expecting to leave my appointment with the same frustration however I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of my appointment. Dr Flemmer validated my feelings & was extremely helpful in getting me a referral. I really appreciate her
  • Mar, 27 2024
    She could be more listening and not trying to rush in and out the appointment like she didn't care
  • Mar, 26 2024
    My experience with everyone else in the clinic was wonderful however the MD I worked with spent very little time in the room with me (less than 5 minutes). She had not reviewed any information on my chart before the appt to establish a new PCP. Additionally, she did not talk about any of my history with me. I was very disappointed with this appt as I had waited several months to establish care with a new doctor after mine had left the clinic. I was looking for a new PCP before I had even left the parking lot.

    My visit with Dr. Flemmer was great. She's a good listener.
  • Mar, 20 2024
    She was very direct and factual. Fist time seeing this provider. I didn't have much of a connection with her, but I'll keep going to her to see how it goes.
  • Mar, 18 2024
    It was my first visit with Dr. Flemmer as my new primary care provider. Appreciated her going over everything with me so that she could learn nor about my medical history. I enjoyed meeting her and I am happy to have her as my primary care provider.
  • Mar, 15 2024
    Dr Flemmer did an excellent job explaining lab results and answering question.
  • Mar, 13 2024
    First time meeting the Doctor. Felt ver comfortable in the office with her. She was quite professional and thorough.
  • Mar, 13 2024
    My new doctor was unbelievable, I was so happy I got her
  • Mar, 12 2024
    I liked Dr. Flemmer immediately upon meeting her and am very glad she could take me on.
  • Mar, 8 2024
    I do not have problems to solve. This was an annual health check.
  • Feb, 23 2024
    My provider is very thorough. She asked a lot of questions and explained everything to me. She addressed my concerns for that visit and updated any referrals and Labs that were due.
  • Feb, 21 2024
    Felt reprimanded for bringing up concerns. Both were addressed but she was unhappy I bought anything up and said it was a transfer of care appt only. My understanding was that she wouldFelt reprimanded for bringing up concerns regarding migraines and earache. Both were addressed but was told this was a transfer of doctor appt and It was apparent she was annoyed to discuss anything other than reviewing my history. It was clear she was knowledgeable but bedside manner was lacking. Left holding back tears.
  • Feb, 21 2024
    This was my first encounter with Dr. K. Flemmer. I really liked her. She seemed a bit rushed and flustered when she entered the room, as if something had perhaps been occurring earlier that may have led to her 25 minute late entrance to the exam room. My appointment was definitely cut short, bit due to the fact that I didn't have major concerns that took extra time, we completed the physical exam in a very rushed, yet timely manner.
  • Feb, 21 2024
    Care Provider was exceptional: attentive, good listener, answered questions thoroughly, provide clear next steps.
  • Jan, 22 2024
    Everything went well. I think most people have room for improvement. I don't usually give 5's unless they absolutely exceeded my every single expectation or required tasks and such. The 4's don't mean that Dr Flemmer didn't do what I expected or what's called for in her position. She did great, I felt comfortable and really like her. I think she's serving her patients well and will be a great fit for me.
  • Jan, 19 2024
    Dr. Flemmer really listens and shows genuine concern. Very thankful to have her as my doctor
  • Jan, 16 2024
    Listening to everything and always follows up with my process
  • Jan, 15 2024
    The doctor seemed like she was in a rush didn't know my medical history even though it's right in front of her face all she had to do was read the chart notes.
  • Jan, 12 2024
    Not a very open minded doctor nor does she seem to have any knowledge about patient's individual needs or medical issues. Felt like she was reading out of a drug reps pamphlet and didn't even look at my past medical history when making her opinions on my personal health issues
  • Jan, 9 2024
    Love dr flemmer, just wish she wasn't so booked up and out so far
  • Jan, 5 2024
    She talks to me and listens to me and also my sister who was with me
  • Jan, 5 2024
    It was my first time meeting my new dr. She was nice. We talked about horses. I was irritated that I had to wait as long as I did. She was able to get my labs scheduled immediately which was appreciated.
  • Jan, 5 2024
    I felt I connected well with Dr Flemmer and look forward to coming back.
  • Dec, 31 2023
    She makes me feel comfortable so it's easier for me to work on my health issues.
  • Nov, 25 2023
    As a retired RN, I appreciate a quick but thoughtful visit.
  • Nov, 23 2023
    I expressed c ok ncern of lower back & hips hurting, but received inadequate response from Dr.
  • Nov, 20 2023
    Dr Flemmer is always on the spot. Concerned for her patient and takes good care of you.
  • Nov, 17 2023
    Dr Flemmer was very attentive and thorough. She is pleasant to work with and as a first time patient, I am very much looking forward to having her as my doctor.
  • Nov, 8 2023
    Dr Flemmer is by far the worst dr. I have been to. Her concern for me and my reason for the visit was very poor. She is rude and seems to lack concern for me as a parien. This has happened twice and I will not go back to her. Lacks any concern or empathy.
  • Nov, 1 2023
    The Dr was cold, rude & standoffish. Perhaps she was having a bad day? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I have another appointment on the 7th. If it doesn't go better, I will be looking for a new Dr.
  • Oct, 31 2023
    This was my initial meeting with Dr. Flemmer. She seemed to want to do the bare minimum - didn't ask if I was having other difficulties.
  • Oct, 30 2023
    I do not want to see this care provider again
  • Oct, 28 2023
    Once again if I could I would have given a 10. Wonderful, very caring and professional both Dr and PA. THANKS
  • Oct, 26 2023
    I wasn't listened to or cared about. Doctor changed my dosage of medication without informing me of possible side effects of doing so. I learned this the hard way on my own, and had to deal with it on my own. She was very explicit in stating that she does not do telephone visits. I got the impression that if anything bad happens to me, she didn't really care nor was she there for me to contact for advise.
  • Sep, 29 2023
    Dr. Flemmer is outstanding! She is always a good listener, shows she cares about me as a patient, and always follows up immediately with my visit report! In fact it was handed to me before I left the room! My prescription was forwarded immediately and ready for pick up at the pharmacy by the time I arrived 10 minutes later! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
  • Sep, 24 2023
    The Doctor was very thorough and interested with what I had to say.
