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

Dr Climer is amazing. He may run later than some other providers, but it is because he cares about each and every one of his patients. He takes his time listening to their concerns and talks oabout treatment in a way anyone could understand.

Very good

I have NEVER had a bad experience with Dr. Climer, or ANY of his staff. I feel like a friend every time I see Dr. Climer, from Vicki at the reception desk to Roberto in the exam room. I have recommended Dr. Climer to everyone I care about, and they have become his patients as well. They, too, rave about his compassion and empathy, from my wife, to my brother to my best friend. We ALL feel the same way. I don't care to envision my health care experience without Dr. Climer guiding me. I REALLY can't say enough good things about him or his staff. I honestly Thank God for his care.

The Provider, over the past 15 years, has always provided me with attentive listening and clear and studied advice. He has great bedside manner, open to opinion and my personal observations, discusses and explains advice clearly and understandably. I cannot provide a higher recommendation and I have sent family members to him for their care. Good Job!

Dr. Climer is by far the best Internal Medicine doctor I've ever been with and I'm [age removed] years old. He always takes time for you and he never acts rushed to see his next patient. He is kind, understanding and very supportive. He explains everything in a way you can understand and wants only the best for you. I have recommended him to several friends who now have him as their primary provider and all have said they are so happy to have finally found a great doctor who not only listens but cares about them as a person and is very considerate of what your concerns are. Dr. Climer in my opinion is the best of the best! I always recommend him to family and friends! I think that says a lot about him, not only as a doctor but as a person who deeply cares about each one of his patients.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Climer NEVER makes me feel unimportant, is not autocratic in his attitude, does not criticize me for using "alternate" treatments or supplements, is willing to share HIMSELF with me which I like very much.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
EVERY TIME I had additional questions or concerns, Dr. Climer and his PA. answered them with dignity and clearness. if the answers were not readily known..Dr. Climer would look the answers up right in front of me and while my questions were still fresh.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. ok, wait time for this visit was way too long.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I have recommended Dr. Climer to 3 of my relatives and friends. Each one raves about Dr. Climer's concern. I'd hate to have to go anywhere else, as he is unparalleled with his empathy.

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.

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

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Climer always takes time to listen to what your concerns are without making you feel that he is too busy, or doesn't really care about the reason(s) you have come. Then he makes every effort to figure out the best plan of action to effectively deal with your concerns and follows through on the plan. The office staff, Vickie, and others, is always very friendly and helpful, whether they are contacted by phone or in person. They always leave you with the feeling that your concerns are theirs as well. Dr. Climer's physician's assistant, Roberto, is very thorough in the preparatory questions and the follow through on what Dr. Climer needs done that a PA can deal with.
