Gary Raymond Standke, MD

I met with Dr. Standke for the first (and last) time a few weeks ago for my yearly physical. I will say that he was thorough in the tests he ordered, and I appreciate that. When I spoke to him about some female concerns I had, I found him dismissive during the appointment, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, so I planned on continuing in his care to see it it was a good match. However, when I got my patient chart, I noticed that he had written two diagnoses that didn’t seem right (my fear of heights on an occasional plane trip became agoraphobia with panic disorder for example). I called to talk with him, and as he was not available, the office asked me to leave a message. I did, saying that I wanted to talk to him about the diagnoses. I got a call back a few days later from someone in the office stating that Dr. Standke said the diagnoses are correct, he will not change them, and I am welcomed to get a second opinion. Can he just talk to me? I asked. Nope. He refused to speak with me. Really? So now my option is to take off work and see another doctor to discuss what is on my chart because Standke cannot be bothered or is afraid to talk to me personally. Stay away from Standke.
