Weimar Family Care

Steer clear of this place if you value your health and/​or are in serious need of quality medical care. I went here because I was told Dr. Steffens was a LLMD who accepted my insurance. The building of the clinic looks like part of a run down, dilapidated insane asylum commune. Empty waiting room each time I went, with one adult receptionist and kids running the place. Dr. Steffens could not have acted less concerned about my serious health problems and wouldn’t listen to my symptoms. He couldn’t find my blood results twice and blamed me… Also couldn’t remember prescriptions he’d written me just two weeks prior. Carelessly rushed through each of my visits to sit on his laptop at a counter afterward and await the empty waiting room??? Seemed annoyed I couldn’t afford expensive igenex test yet had no alternative diagnosis/​treatment suggestions besides that. If I’m going to pay that much it’ll be with a doctor with adequate bedside manner and professionalism.

They should call it the Weimar Wizard of Oz family care clinic, Dr Steffens sits in a room and pulls the strings of his interns while they do the actual patient visits, and when they don’t know what to do which is often, they leave the room to seek advice from the Great Oz for his infinite wisdom, some of them are very kind and actually do care (the receptionists) but Dr Steffens comes off as an arrogant know it all that thinks everyone is a hypochondriac. They don’t like to do referral research for patients that need a specialist and when they do its the wrong kind of doctor, then they ask the patient to find a doctor and let them know the doctors name so they can put in the referral as if they actually did the work. I have been diagnosed by real doctors for real medical conditions and its taken many years to figure out what medications work for me but as soon as I walked into this office, and without any tests or facts or research they want to switch all of my prescription meds to over the counter strength, and when I refused they sent me packing with a letter of non-​compliance to their standards and said that I would need to see a specialist if I wanted to continue the treatments ive been getting (yes I know! and I have to have a referral from your office to see one Dr Dolittle!). Probably a great place to go if you have a common cold but anything beyond that is too hard for them to comprehend
