Kurt Piening's Online Review Report Card

My mothers name is Stella and she is blind. Whenever I call or bring her in with a health issue, the staff are so kind and they make my mom feel so special. Dr. Piening is Exceptional.

Superb as always. He is punctual, empathetic, kindly professional... need I go on. He is an excellent doctor and always interested in me as a patient.

Nobody at this office ever answers the phone so its impossible to get an appointment. The person who answers phones should be fired!

So i called to become a new patient of Dr. Piening only to be told i would have to give my information which he would then look over and decide if he wished to take me on or not. When the girl got back on the phone she spoke i spoke she said hello three times and acted like suddenly she couldnt hear me which is very odd considering we were just talking perfectly fine then she hung up no sorry please call back nothing.

Great doctor, good listener. My husband and I have been patients for 5 years and appreciate that he takes time to listen and make sure he answers all of your questions. He can be tough to get in to see though, because he has a lot of patients, but he's worth the wait.

I called to become a new patient of Dr. Kurt if he is taking new patients. The lady who answered the phone asked me for my information so that she can pass them on to Dr. Kurt for his review. She also mentioned that if Dr. Kurt wishes to take me on as a patient, I will here back from them. I did not know that doctors now checked if they have a healthy or unhealthy patient before deciding to be their doctor. I hope Dr. Kurt only meets the patients he wants to provide medical care for and not one he has to but does not want to. That will be a bad day for the patient. In my opinion, a doctor should take on any patient regardless of their health history if they are accepting new patients. After taking on a new patient, they should advice them to the best of their knowledge and refer to other medical professionals for things they are not an expert on or when they need a second opinion. I also think the this doctor may have forgotten the oath he took when become a doctor because, why would you need a doctor if you are healthy?

Dr. Piening is extremely knowledgeable and spends a good amount of time with me as a patient, which I value. As an elderly individual, when I have questions about medications, he is always very patient and explains everything in terms I can understand. I have a lot of confidence in him.

I am from a Specialists office calling Dr. Pienings office about a referral, so far I have been on hold for 20 minutes and no one has even answered the call. If this was my doctors office, I would change my PCP. I think that this is entirely too long to wait for someone to pick up the phone!

The office staff is atrocious which unfortunately does not matter how good the doctor is.

Dr. Curt Piening has a talent this gerontology patient greatly appreciates; namely, he is a good listener! “Listening” is deemed the ultimate gift of compassion in some wisdom traditions. Before launching into the medical treatment phase, hearing and honoring what is important to the patient builds a foundation of trust. Thank you, Dr. Piening, for your patience and good medical care!

He has been my doctor for 9 years and I am so grateful that I found him. I have sent my Husband, Mom and my sisters all to him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor. He really listens and that is where he starts when he begins treatment.

I LOVE DR PEINING

Dr. Piening has been my doctor for 15+ years and Ive always thought very highly of him. Hes easy to talk to and always takes his time and makes you feel comfortable and well cared for. The staff is great but admittedly when calling Boonselick Medical Group you will often wait a very long time before getting to talk to someone but that would be my only complaint. I consider myself lucky to have him as a doctor.

Dr Piening is the definition of compassion, respect, and dignity for patients. Sure you may have to wait occasionally but you need to think about it...he gives ALL his patients the time they need. He doesnt spend his time looking at his watch. I have entrusted many family members to him...these are people I love.

Dr. Piening is SO EASY to talk to. He doesnt make you feel uncomfortable about asking questions, so you get all your questions answered. He has provided the treatment I need and in friendly atmosphere. Hes a good guy!
