Dr. Fickel is truly the best. She genuinely cares about me and sees me as a person, and not as a number. I appreciate her holistic approach to medical care to ensure that I stay healthy. I feel very lucky to have her as my MD.
Excellent provider and challenge to feel calm during the visit because I know the queue for her services is relentless.
Dr Fickel and staff are always very professional and caring when it comes to my health. Thank you!
Dr. Fickel has always communicated well with me in person and during our video visits. She always makes sure all of my questions/concerns are addressed before ending our visit and always lets me know to reach out if I need something.
Dr. Karen Fickel is very warm and approachable in her interpersonal relationship with me as her patient.
Dr. Fickel and staff are very thorough , explain things very succinctly and, most importantly, listen to my concerns and address them. I feel confident that I am valued as a patient.
Dr. Fickel is a gifted physician. She listens exquisitely well, explains treatment options patiently, and in detail, and exudes warmth. What more can be said about excellence?

Dr. Fickel was once again excellent. She was also training a med student and the student did very well also.
Your doctors and staff are excellant.The ease to get thru and make appointmnts is the worst I have seen in any medical provider.
Dr Fickel took time with me even though she had a busy schedule. This was appreciated. I didn't feel like a number. She demonstrated genuine care for me as a patient.
Dr Fickle is my favorite MD. She doesn't rush a visit, listens patiently to any of my concerns [ or my daughter's concerns ] and makes suggestions in a safe, easy way. She is just great!
Excellent explanation of test results and treatment options.
Karen Fickle is one of the most caring and knowledgeable doctors I have ever seen! She is helpful, kind and thorough. She has navigated the changes in the healthcare system with grace and competence, although I believe her resources are limited! I couldn't be more confident about the care she provides.
I love my doctor, Dr. fickle is great!
Dr. Fickle is an amazing physician. She is thorough, knowledgeable, explains her thinking very well, checks in frequently if I'm understanding and have any additional issues, listens carefully and involves me in decision-making, and demonstrates genuine concern and caring. She is well prepared for appointments (e.g has reviewed my chart) and always appears up to date on latest medical information. I am so fortunate to have her as my physician.
Dr. Fickel provides excellent care. She is always thorough, and shows true compassion.
I'm happy I have Dr. Fickel as my primary care doctor. She's knowledgeable, explains things clearly, and I don't feel rushed. Dr. Fickel is thorough and I have confidence in her.
Dr. Karen Fickel and her staff are amazing! I don't know what I'd do without them... Dr. Fickel is extremely experienced and knowledgeable - if she doesn't know the answer to a problem, she's quick to research it! My health situation is very overwhelming to me - for different reasons at different times. She is very good at helping me prioritize the issues that require being addressed right away, to help me set up steps to put our plan in action, and to help me to feel more in control and less helpless and hopeless. I would definitely recommend her to others... However, she is no longer accepting new patients. I do recommend her clinic and many of the specialists at Froedtert Hospital to people seeking medical care!
My primary care physician is awesome! Unfortunately that means that scheduling appointments with her can be challenging, however that just means I book my annual appointments with her a year in advance.
Dr Fickel is an excellent internist and I am very grateful for her thoroughness and she is also a great listener. Thank you
I received excellent care.
Easy to sign in. Great way to communicate with provider but I still prefer in-person appointments.
I like that my doctor is in the Sargent Center and not in the huge building complex. I wouldn't go there otherwise.
Dr Fickel is a wonderful Dr. Great listener and helps me makes decisions.
Dr. Fickel is the best--very knowledgable, listens carefully, responds respectfully and completely. Very compassionate
