Michael Slater

Dr. Slater is really an awesome doctor. He listens to his patients and seems to really care. I’d recommend him to anyone!

Horrible doctor! Accused me of looking for narcotics when all I did is say I need my pain addressed! Switched my medication but never told me to taper off to ween off the first one, I had to ask if I should do that. He never told me about withdrawal symptoms. Apparently this medication has extreme withdrawal, one of the worst. Which I didn’t know until severe nausea and violent vomiting set in and looked it up in the Internet. Terrible bedside manner, egotistical, does not listen to the patient, and thinks he knows better than the specialist even though he is just a general practioner. Avoid this doctor like the plague. I have switched doctors.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Slater’s for over 3 years and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I have a host of health issues and Dr. Slater has just been so wonderful in listening to my concerns, diagnosing my issues and if he doesn’t know/can’t help he doesn’t hesitate to refer me to a specialist or other clinic.
One particular time I was having a medical emergency, I called in to the office. It was closed but the service called Dr. Slater (he was on call) and he basically talked me through the emergency. Who else would do that on their day off?
Dr. Slater also takes the time to look over your chart before you come in to see him. I just went to see him today and he went over and talked about issues I had in the past to see if they were still issues. (The last time I saw him it was over a year ago.)
Pros:
–No wait time-​15 minutes
–P.A. Lori R., is very competent so you don’t worry about having to see her
–Office staff has improved greatly over the years
–Nursing staff is very competent and friendly
–Genuinely cares about your concerns; he spends a good amount of time with you and answers all your questions
–Office is run well and is clean
Cons:
–They need to get a bike rack for folks who ride their bike there!
Overall: I have met many acquaintances that also go to Dr. Slater and for good reason. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough.
P. S. I also highly respect him for also taking military insurance (which I have)

Dr. Slater is a very conscientious and caring physician. Short office wait time! I never have to wait more than 10 minutes. If you’re looking for a primary doctor, I highly recommend him.
