In patients' words
"PUSHY. Rude and brusque. Terrible bedside manner. Won't work with people who don't have anyone to drive them... Avoid this person at all costs."
— Healthgrades review of Dr. John Meier"Dr. Meier is the best doctor. He did my colonoscopy procedure. He is pleasant and courteous and explained everything in a way I could understand clearly. The entire staff was very friendly."
— Vitals review of Dr. John Meier"I really regret writing this review. I was appointed to Dr Richardson, but she has yet to speak to me about my diagnosis. Every discussion about my diagnosis was from her nurse, who would call me."
