On our way to the parking lot my Chinese wife who had met Dr. Dresden for the first time remarked "For a younger doctor he is very approachable and his kindness and sincerity are obviously genuine. He understands you my silly husband and he has a good humor." I replied "Yes I agree. He is wonderful and I am so pleased to have found him."

I would definitely go back and send anyone back.

I can't say enough about Richelle! Most recently she met with my wife and me to address all of our concerns and to provide her professional suggested course of action. We never feel rushed with her and we always cover a lot of ground. Before we leave she summarizes everything we talked about so we are all in agreement on what the next steps are until our next visit. We appreciate her so much!!

He is helpful and provided advice beyond what the scope of the exam required - exercises for example. He does have an excellent "bedside manner". Frankly, he is my primary reason to use SSM Health.

I've already told my entire travel group about the expertise I experience with Cara Moll. Traveling to foreign remote areas always brings extra questions and she always is thorough and caring.

She knows what she is doing

So knowledgeable, professional, and caring.

He did a great job, and although he isn't my primary care doctor, he was genuinely interested in my issue and had excellent bedside manner with me as a first-time patient. He made me feel comfortable during my visit and was easy to talk to.

I felt reassured of the care Dr. Katie provided.

He is impatient. He lacks empathy and compassion. He rolls his eyes often as if you are wasting his time. I went out of their crying.
Oct 23, 2026
He tells you how it is and he’s wonderful

Professional, knowledgeable and courteous, easy to talk to.

Cheryl listened to my explanation of my pain issues. She asked questions. She made a suggestion for hopefully providing relief. She stated she was puzzled why I’m having pain when she tested my various back & knee movements to pin point the affected nerves & I wasn’t experiencing any pain during all the test movements.

Quite understanding and helpful.

Dr. Alexander spent almost an hour going over my past apnea/cpap issues, explaining how they can relate to other conditions, and listening to my concerns after 13 years of no contact with sleep specialist. She ordered blood tests, found me a new cpap mask to try, is having my current cpap devices recalibrated and ordered me a new device - the first in 13 years. I rejoiced in having such a professional not only take time to listen, but relate, explain her recommendations and act on my behalf. It was a make-my-day great visit!

Dr. Charles was a fantastic doctor and a person with a great personality and extensive knowledge and made me feel relaxed and happy to have her as a doctor. Both me and my wife will stay with her as long as we can.
Oct 23, 2026
I can’t say enough good about her - the best!
