Dr.Paul Ginkel knew I was going through abuse during the horrifying care I received at Froedtert Hospital. After the abuse from Froedtert when I was in a traumatic accident and was blamed and imprisoned for the crime, I came here. It was discovered by Dr.Paul G as he revealed to our mother and my sister and I, stating verbally I was recieving shots/ injections to stop pregnancy permanently. He explained that I gave consent but knew as he went on about my mouth missing parts: "It's impossible when I see how traumatic your accident and the results were during your care in the traumatic ICU department

They’re unprofessional. I’ve gave them chance after chance. They’re all over the place. Our elders are better off going to a different Doctors office. I only gave 2 stars because for me, both of the Therapist that I’ve had, they both are so awesome! Otherwise this place would get a one star or lower.

Called yesterday not sure who i spoke to main person who answered put me on hold then the woman i spoke to was rude. All i did was kindly ask if they could send a general email out. the employees are parking in front of the electric car charger. so to charge my car i have to go before they open or after they close.The only time in a week the ev charging spots ( there are two designated spots...two charger plugs)are not occupied by non electric cars is before or after their business hours. i could just call police and have cars ticketed but I am trying to be nice. what if they needed gas and a car

Personally I love this place and it is always a joy when I come here. The receptionists are always polite. I don't have to wait long for my appointment and the doctors and nurses are always nice. The new move when they did is absolutely beautiful and I am always captivated by the art that they have.

Great Client Service from the Receptionist Debra & My Doctor is Very Understanding & Resourceful ! Now as far as the sense of Urgency from the Referral Specialist (which they only have ONE of) named Rose their is NONE whatsoever !! I’ve literally been leaving voicemails for ongoing Months & she has yet to return a call. Whenever I ask to speak with her she’s ether on vacation on break or just unavailable it’s frankly disappointing seeing that everyone else is on point. Ether they need to hire her help or flat out terminate her ! *Currently looking for a New Doctors Office*

First off, let me start by saying how beautiful this clinic is. Really such nice, beautiful and clean building. It's really great to see it, even when driving by. The area is still kind of up and coming so some parts are rough. It makes me appreciate seeing a business take pride in it's appearance and hope others in the area follow the same path.
Next I will say the staff (medical & desk people) are super friendly and awesome. I used to live in Chicago and was nervous to make the switch because I really felt a connection with the people there. (I figured I would just make the drive down) But the
