When I was looking to replace my primary doctor who left NW for the cushy concierge medicine field after 15 years of treating me I did some homework. I was sort of surprised that Dr. Axe had quite a few negative comments about him. I was a bit reluctant to go, but I believe more in good reviews than whining unhappy people’s opinion so I gave him a shot. When I first started talking to him I was taken a back a bit by his seemingly gruff, mater of fact, no sugar coating conversation he had with me. After a fairly long consultation and going over my past medical history I was impressed. I do believe he has my best interest as well as most likely all his patients best interest at heart. I also think he is very smart, knowledgeable, and highly competent. While Dr. Axe does not have the warmest, most friendliest bedside manner I’ve ever experienced, and I doubt he will ever give me Bears tickets like my last Dr. did I think he is a straight shooting, no nonsense Dr. and I’m glad he’s mine.
