About Me:
My philosphy is straight forward: when you have a good primary care physician, with easy access to care and we have a good relationship, you will find that most of your problems can be handled as an outpatient. Your health and life depend on you having someone you can talk to and be heard by. I believe that good public health is the primary basis for all of healthcare. Public health comes in many forms, but over my career I have become concerned about a form of public health I call spiritual public health. I believe each of us is continuously growing and developing in many ways throughout our lives. My mid-life work has taught me the value and importance of developing our souls. I believe every stage of life has a spiritual journey which needs development and expression. To the extent we are successful at this development, we will have good spiritual public health. Hobbies include: Hiking, Music, Photography, Art, Hunting, Gardening

Patient Rating
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. It works like this: Real patients give us feedback through Press Ganey, a patient satisfaction survey company. They verify and confirm the results. National Research Corporation, an independent company, provides the technology to show the ratings and comments on our website

Very concerned about my health and how I was feeling.

Dr. Climer takes the quickest easiest way to diagnosis a problem and is not very thorough. It seems as if he is afraid to treat me in a normal Doctor/Patient manner.

Met with Dr. Climer for the first time met all my expectations
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Climer was very patient and took more time to evaluate the patient than I would have expected in situation. The evaluation was preparatory for going into a Memory Care facility, and was very thorough. We were very appreciative. (signed) the patient's husband

I requested a hard copy of my blood work and learned from a notation that I have Chronic Kidney Disease Stage lll. No one notified me and no request for a follow up appointment was made. I imagine it is something fairly serious and requires treatment or a referral to a specialist.
