Ross is a very good listener. I trust his judgment. When he talks to me, he's not entering stuff on the computer at the same time. It's always face-to-face. I like that. He is very quick on the computer so that gives us time to talk.

Ross is always willing to listen to my concerns and treats me with respect

Everything was fine .

I believe your facility lacks good patient practice. I have been with Legacy since I moved here 4 years ago. Medical facility in Idaho St Luke's after my yearly exam and conference always set up an appt f0llow up for the next year at that time for exams and reviews. Legacy lacks that personal care with patients. I am strongly considering going elsewhere at this time.

Ross does a great job of making the patient feel very comfortable in talking to. He listens well and is very personable. He also knows his subject matter and is very professional.

Ross was thorough and wonderful. 10/10
  Mar 13, 2023
This was an introductory meeting with the provider. As a nurse practitioner, his authority to make decisions about my care is somewhat different from what I am used to with an MD. I was learning about those differences and could have used a more direct explanation. I anticipate we will learn how to communicate well with each other.
  Mar 8, 2023
I feel very fortunate to have Ross Puterbaugh for my health care. He is thorough, patient and really informative. I don't have occasion to see him more than my annual check up but if I do need help he has always taken care for me without making me feel like I am a bother to him. I can say I am very glad I have someone like Ross for my medical needs.
  Mar 6, 2023
The kiosk at your lab department leaves a lot to be desired for those who don't like computers or don't have one
  Mar 3, 2023
Legacy has always provided excellent service. They are polite, on time, patient respect me as a person. My team is great!

  Mar 1, 2023
Receptionists talked very loud
  Feb 27, 2023
Hit the important facts and asked for any questions or concerns I might have.
  Feb 21, 2023
Staff is always very friendly. During the appointment I can always get straight to the point and get some/most answers by the time I leave.
  Feb 10, 2023
Pleasant - but not enough time to get to core issues or concerns.
  Feb 7, 2023
Always great visit. Personable and well informed. Loved the front desk person that helped me get signed in. Assistant is always great. Ross is always informative and great with answering questions.

Ross is thorough, friendly & knowledgeable.
  Jan 5, 2023
He is always concerned about me and what went wrong.
  Jan 3, 2023
Ross was very attentive to the concerns of mine and my wife's . From the knee pain to my gait and daily activities. He has requested PT to assist in these areas.
  Dec 30, 2022
Ross always acts like you are the only thing on his mind when you are there, never rushing, always listening. He is confident and helpful. As an older woman I find my concerns are not taken seriously by some other providers, so I appreciate that Ross always takes me seriously and finds the help I need.
  Dec 28, 2022
I feel medically gaslighted every appointment. Each appointment I get the same answer "it doesn't make medical sense, you need to see mental health". Im not very comfortable returning. I mean I had a "cold" a few days prior to going to emergency with pneumonia and heart failure. I don't feel like I can be honest with how I feel and feel insulted every time I leave the office.
  Dec 15, 2022
Your practice is close to my home, and seems to mee my current needs.
  Dec 14, 2022
Nurse cleaning my ear got water all over me.
  Dec 9, 2022
I did not feel that my provider was listening to me. While I was talking he kept saying "uhhuh" and "okay". When I completed what I was say he went on for several more seconds saying the same- as though I was still talking. This made me feel like he wasn't really interested in hearing my report of workplace hostility that had triggered severe terror. He offered to send in a social worker which I accepted. My provider lacked any sort of warmth or kindness, he was cold and abrupt. Left me sorry I reached out for help.
  Dec 7, 2022
With this visit, the provider only spent a couple minutes with me. He checked my ears and little else. He did not provide any remedies, holistic or prescription except for me to keep doing what I was doing. I am in more pain today than yesterday and don't feel that he spent enough time with me to give a clear diagnosis. I understand the medical field is overwhelmed right now. It just wasn't the level of care I am used to Dr. Puterbaugh providing.
  Dec 6, 2022
Ross Puterbaugh is great PA.His staff is too. I great great care. I recommend him to others.
  Dec 2, 2022
Dr always comes in immediately, very little wait time, is friendly ask me what I'm here for and then proceeds to answer all my questions, goes over my chart and is exactly what I want and expect from a good physician.
  Nov 30, 2022
The provider spent less than five minutes with me, turning me over to a student intern for 90% of the visit. My experience with this provider has been excellent in the past, but I left the office thinking that I needed to look for another PCP.
  Nov 29, 2022
While I am happy with PA Ross's care, I look forward to seeing a doctor as my age and health issues become more complicated
  Nov 29, 2022
Ross listened to my list of aches and pains (had kidney stones) and explained possibilities. He followed up with blood work and other tests. I appreciate the thoroughness and his prompt response to the test results.
  Nov 22, 2022
Ross is always professional but friendly. He takes great interest in my medical health. Although I was there for a physical he ordered some tests and lab work that was additional and I am very happy with my provider.
  Nov 21, 2022
Treated with respect
  Nov 11, 2022
We are more than satisfied with Dr. Puterbaugh and his "team."
  Nov 11, 2022
Ross is Very attentive and is keeping track of different procedures I have had done with specials.
  Nov 8, 2022
Ross is always thorough and extremely professional.
  Nov 4, 2022
He did recommend further services - PT and X-ray.
  Nov 4, 2022
Too much "extra" info requested as part of the pre-visit checkin (both online checkin, and then inperson). "Safe at home"? "Food security"? When I go to see my MEDICAL Doctor for a MEDICAL problem, I don't want to feel that I'm being quizzed by a Social Worker. And, no, there was no opt-out possible... I had to answer yes or no. There were several non-medical questions that struck me as intrusive... I just happen to recall the safety and food questions as they struck me as being intrusive, not needed, and not applicable to my visit goal.
  Nov 4, 2022
Ross saw me fast and examined me quickly, assuring me I had no problems, but was glad I came in even though the problem wasn't as big as I thought it was. Also quickly provided me with a flu-shot! Quick doctor experience, with excellent service.
  Nov 2, 2022
I was rushed through the appointment. I do not feel this provider knows anything about me or my medical history or really understands the heart event that I experienced. I was not listened to or allowed to be involved in my own care. I followed my cardiologist's instructions to the letter and this provider assumed I didn't or that he knew better than them. I left very upset and cannot bring myself to go back.
  Oct 17, 2022
Dr.was thorough in all aspects.
  Oct 7, 2022
Have always been satisfied with my provider.
  Oct 7, 2022
Ross always listens and understands my concerns. Having a chronic unexplained illness can be stressful and hard to find a provider that really listens and takes my concerns seriously. Ross always listens and doesn't make me feel comfortable. He also did a great job mentoring his PA in training. Can't remember his name but he was so patient and understanding also.
  Oct 7, 2022
I had a good experience with the Dr and his staff.
  Oct 6, 2022
In my few visits since switching to Dr. Puterbaugh as my PC doc, I've had good interactions.
  Oct 4, 2022
This was my first visit since a long stay in South Dakota.
