Mickelson Ira H MD

"I absolutely love Dr. Michelson. He’s one of those rare doctors who truly cares about his patients. When I started coming to him, I was in the deep pit of addiction and five years later I’m living the life I always wanted and I never could have made it this far without this man. He has never treated me any differently despite my opiate addiction, and he has treated me and my girlfriend and child like family. Throughout the past 5 years, he has been more than just my addiction doctor. Him and his staff (Jill & Dottie) have been more like a second family. I’m truly blessed to have found such a great doctor."

"I consulted with him 4 times, all 4 visits were bad experiences. He talks way too much and always some nonsense about himself or other patients. He NEVER remembers anything from the last visit (even though he takes notes). He repeats himself over and over again. And is very disrespectful with other people`s time. Once I waited 2 hours to talk to him and in the middle of our conversation he answered his cell phone. Another time I waited 1 hour and he excuse was that another patient had questions (they talked for 1 hour, only the first 10 minutes were about things that mattered, yes I overheard him because he talks extremely loudly). I don`t recommend and won`t ever be back at his office."

"Best doctor in the whole world. He'll make jokes with you, tell you cool stories, and act like he is your long lost nest friend. If you suffer from addiction, he is the doctor to go to. A million times better than my last addictionologist, Dr. Coffman. Totally worth the 45 minute drive."

"My wife had an irregular period, so we went to an examination and visited twice to this doctor. Both times he kept talking about nonsense stuff about his friend's experience in China and so on. Then he decided everything was ok, my wife just needed to take some blood tests. They took 6 tubes of blood the first time and 7 tubes the second time. It looked terrifying, so we asked the nurse what tests they were, and she said she didnt know, only the doctor asked to do. The doctor had never told us what the tests were. When we received the bill, it was $2,000 after insurance coverage ... I had to complain it via our insurance provider and my company lawyer to reduce the amount. Immediately switched doctor after that."

"In my 7 year old daughters words, he is very sweet! Best doctor ever, he does his best to not intimidate his patients, and treats them like they are family! I've always been a bit intimidated by doctors, but he will go above and beyond to ensure that you feel comfortable with him! There is nothing cold or clinical about this man, he is one of the warmest people I've ever met. He is very forthcoming with me about what he thinks may be wrong whenever I've had a health issue. All of my doctors in the past, I would have to really push at them in order to get answers, and they seemed to dislike that. You can feel completely comfortable being totally honest with this man, and you will never feel judged for it! You will never feel like you're being rushed, and your visits will start to feel like you're going to see an old friend, though perhaps an old friend who is a brilliant obgyn. Also, whenever I have brought my children with me, he always gives them a huge hug, tells them he loves them, and then goes and finds some goodies to send them home with! I have two regrets concerning this doctor: 1. That I didn't meet him sooner 2. That I can't also have him as my family doctor and my therapist as well! Thanks so much Dr. Mickelson, you have completely boosted my confidence when dealing with doctors, and made my visits something that I can look forward to instead of dreading!"
