Dr. Kastenmeier was knowledgeable, open, easy to speak with and discussed various options for the issue I brought to the clinic for evaluation. There are several medical issues in play and Dr. Kastenmeier suggested he coordinate with my other doctor(s) to determine the best course of action at this time. He explained options clearly and answered all of my questions in an easily understood format. When appropriate I anticipate we will be able to further address the concerns that brought me to his office for consultation.
Froedtert the whole system does an excellent job explaining things and getting you in touch with doctors that they feel might help you. Everyone is very helpful explaining things and giving you different options. And the staff are down to earth type people that makes you feel comfortable about trusting them.
