  Overcharged for No exam No bedside manner, no help at all...., Feb 1, 2011

Referred by ER to Dr. Alverson. She came in, asked what happened (I slipped on ice and twisted my left knee), told me it was "probably just a strain", and basically sent me on my way after a charge of $120.00. My leg is blue from my knee down to my foot and I can barely walk. She gave no knee brace or wrap, no shot or medication, no requests for further tests. She spent less than 5 minutes with me. I am on disability and medicare and she still charged me that much. I don't know how she is still in business or how she lives with herself. She shows no care for her patients at all. She would be better off in a different field of work.

  Very unprofessional and disrespectful office staff ..., Apr 11, 2012

I have an appointment last April 5 at 6pm. I came and waited... the office was closed. I was outside with other patients waiting for them to open the door. 6:20 i called the office and the lady who answered the phone put me on hold for about 5 minutes and just to tell me that the office is closed and they give everyone a call to let us know that the office is closed. I was home the whole day the day before and the day itself but didnt get any calls from them. I called the following day to make a complain and the lady who answered the phone is soooo MEAN! She told me that my name is not on the calendar and told me "You're not even in the calendar so why are you upset it is not our fault if you come over and the office is closed!" What kind of attitude is that? She is representing Dr. Kulessa in a very disrespectful and unprofessional way. I would NOT go back to that doctor again!
  0/10. Dr. Mendel's sloppy medical practice set me back over 2 years worth of training progress...., Apr 10, 2012

I injured my shoulder in 2010 while training with a barbell. This is the doctor I ended up going with while looking for a sports medicine doctor who specializes in shoulders. After waiting 3 months for my appointment, and 45 minutes waiting at their office for my appointment, I got maybe 5 minutes of time with the doctor. He ignored me completely when I tried explaining the type of pain I'm going through, and when the injury occurred. He injected my shoulder with cortizone, and told me it was just inflammation. In 2012, my shoulder is getting worse, to the point where I can't ignore the pain at all. I schedule an appointment with a different doctor and the University of Iowa, and on the first appointment, they schedule an arthrogram and MRI. The MRI confirmed that I have a tear in my labrum. If Dr. Mendel would have listened to me, this would have been dealt in 2010, and I would be able to continue training. But now I need surgery, and recovery looked like it'll take between 6-12 months. I can't train during that time. All this because Dr. Mendel refused to give quality healthcare (but still charge a premium healthcare price). My only regret is that this review will give Dr. Mendel 1 star, when it's currently at 0.
  Warning!! Therapists causes more harm than good! Choose someone else!..., Mar 25, 2012

This therapist has serious issues. Careful, she is inappropriate (sexually provocative with male clients) and can cause more damage than good. Wish I'd never met her. She needs to see a therapist, herself.
  Go some where else besides Pulmonary Associates. Lousy service..., Feb 2, 2012

His uncertified assistant does everything. Diagnoses you and prescribes medication. Then the Doctor comes in and does nothing. No check up or anything. All this after waiting 1 1/2 Hrs. in a room. Doctor compares everything to car parts. Must have been former mechanic. Doesn't explain anything. Just tell you that happens to everyone. Didn't bother to look at CT scan.
  Nice lady, but nice doesn't count to your medical wellbeing. ..., Jan 24, 2012

Nice lady, but... lacks experience and concrete experience. Great at giving referrals and free prescription pills. Definitely has an arrogant and condescending attitude. Office staff isn't that helpful or welcoming either.
