Hopefully the medical student that was with him will stay in the area Very thoughtful and understanding Dr Ockenfels can train staff now before they leave. Having a face to face with a Dr needs to still happen instead of pushing the video appointments for the future! Get some young Drs that want to stay I. The area!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have had recurring migraines and we tried one medication that worked for 10 years and then the migraines started again. We have discussed many new developments but with all of my health problems and different prescriptions we are going to try an "old time "remedy for herbal treatment. If this does not work, we will try other options. Dr. Ockenfels never quits trying to find the best solution.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. "O" is an excellent, professional, most knowledgeable, caring physician. I hope the management at the hospital does not mess with him - the community cannot afford to lose more doctors, medical staff, nurses or good clerical help. I hope the hospital mamagement has quality patient care ahead of just the bottom line.
