Lisa T I love the smaller office setting and Dr. Peterson is fantastic. Their staff is wonderful and I never have a long wait. Im much happier with the care of my child here. One of the receptionist and her husband knit newborn hats to give out. I thought that was a nice gesture. So happy I left Confluence.

Amy Rustman Very knowledgeable and personable! My son saw him for shoulder injury, and is an athlete. I definitely felt like my son got the best care possible! Also his nurse was great, cheerful, happy and remembered us after the first visit like we had been going for years. Great experience. Highly recommend!

Katie H Dr. Trautman has been our doctor for several years and midwife for one birth, and we love her! She has a very balanced, practical approach to medicine. Not only does she not sell fear, she teaches you to avoid it. No doctor is perfect but I believe she is the best you will find! Visiting her is visiting a friend and wise mentor. I look forward to it every time, regardless of the reason. The office is always peaceful and welcoming, with a friendly Shawnee to smile at you :-)

Brooke Thompson Brett Hymas saved my sons life. Years ago I took my 10 month old son into Samaritan urgent care after weeks of my son dealing with bronchiolitis because his cough sounded wheezy. My sons oxygen was in the 90s but Dr Hymas decided to do a chest X-ray just in case. My sons right lung was almost completely filled with fluid, Hymas sent us immediately to the hospital and we were flown to sacred heart childrens hospital. My son had emergency surgery to drain his lung. Weeks later we discharged back home and today my son is a healthy 7 year old. I am forever grateful.

Denise Johnson I have been very patient with Dr Patel and have been seeing him for at least 2 years but I’m tired of him not getting orders in MRI and emergency imaging, always being gone, and overall poor attention to details. However he has some awesome nurses I will miss. I’m moving to Confluence Doctors. 3 star review 8-25-23 now 5 star review So I wanted to upgrade the care review that I gave on Dr Patel. I did make appointments with other doctors that were booked 8 months out unfortunately so I saw Dr Patel again and was greatly surprised and pleased with everything. Although I will still see the specialist, I have decided to keep Dr Patel as my primary. He always was a good doctor but I can see he has improved substantially. He has become more through, asks more questions, and just really seems to be on his game.

Vicky McConnell Yes, Dr Matson did a high anal hernia on me and she is a wonderful surgeon. I wouldn’t want anybody else very caring and she thinks of her patience.
