2018-09-19T00:00:00Z	5 September 18, 2018	The nurse who assisted Dr.Kottke that day with my daughter was amazing. Personality, laughter, everything. She made my daughter feel involved. She had her laughing and giggling. One of the best nurses they have in that practice and we have been going to this location for a long time now and she made the visit more welcoming.
2018-09-15T00:00:00Z	5 September 14, 2018	Perfect! We've been bringing our preemie twins here since week 1 and Dr. Kottke has always been patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable for both kids. Fast forward to their 4 year old check up and it's still just as great. We always enjoy Medical Assistant/Nurse-[ . . . ] who is phenomenal with our kids and makes a long, 4 shot, appontiment times 2 very enjoyable for both parents and kids. She's our favorite. Thank you to this dynamic duo for making these appointments more enjoyable than just an annual check up.

I think a better physical exam may have been accomplished if he was willing to examine her face/head (where the presenting complaint was) while I was holding her.
2018-08-18T00:00:00Z	5 August 17, 2018	I am very happy with IHA.
2018-08-16T00:00:00Z	5 August 15, 2018	Dr. Kottke per usual was great!
2018-08-15T00:00:00Z	5 August 14, 2018	easy and efficient visit.
2018-07-24T00:00:00Z	1.67 July 23, 2018	He seemed more intrested in dismissing my concerns rather than actually listening to them. He made me feel like my concerns were not valid and ad a first tike mom, I do not appreciate that. Dr Huhn has never made me feel this way and I will be making all of my appointments with her from now on if possible
2018-07-19T00:00:00Z	2.5 July 18, 2018	good

2018-03-29T00:00:00Z	4.58 March 28, 2018	dr Kottke always spends enough time with my children and makes sure they are developing on time and that there are no concerns.
2018-03-23T00:00:00Z	N/A March 22, 2018	The provider will not see my children again. Made me feel stupid, did not listen to lungs (my child was later diagnosed with pneumonia after recheck to regular provider), was condescending, and I was terribly underwhelmed with the general experience. I should note the resident working with provider was very much a different story, and I thought the care provided by that person was much more inline with what my previous experiences have been.
2018-02-19T00:00:00Z	4.58 February 18, 2018	he was thorough and nice
2018-02-19T00:00:00Z	5 February 18, 2018	very good
2018-02-13T00:00:00Z	5 February 12, 2018	I love Dr. Kottke he is very understanding and shows empathy for the child as well as the scared parents when there is cause for concern. we appreciate it!
2018-02-07T00:00:00Z	5 February 6, 2018	I was very happy with doctor. not our usual one, and he was very caring. he took an extra step to ease our minds with our concern that day.
2018-02-02T00:00:00Z	5 February 1, 2018	It was a good visit. He showed concern for her health.
2018-01-24T00:00:00Z	5 January 23, 2018	Dr. K. is a wonderful doctor he always does a through exam, addresses all of our concerns and questions. My children feel very comfortable and prefer to only see Dr. Kottke. We always leave feeling comforted and trusted in decisions and treatments and plan of care that the doctor and we have discussed.
2018-01-22T00:00:00Z	5 January 21, 2018	Dr. Kottke is such a great listener which I appreciate. My children feel very comfortable with him.
