Hillside Family Medicine LLC & Occupational Medicine 9220 Lake Otis Parkway, Anchorage, AK 99507

"We been go to Hillside as a family of three since we moved to Anchorage,AK in 2019. Physicians and other staffs there are wonderful. However, over the years we see billing is getting worse. When I see bill for basic annual exams that should be covered 100% by our insurance , I know it is time to switch. Either their billing department doesn’t know how to bill it right or simply does not care to verify before mailing out invoices."

"I do not think it is possible to adequately describe how amazing the Physicians are at Hillside Family Medicine. My provider, Dr. Julie Stewart is the most kind and compassionate physician I have ever seen. I have been seeing her for a little over 2 years and I have NEVER felt dismissed, judged, or as if my concerns are not valid. I actually look forward to my appointments because I know that my physician sees me as human. I have seen many providers over the course of my lifetime, and I do not think I have ever actually enjoyed my experience with any of them until now. The office staff is always pleasant. The medical staff is kind, compassionate, and also listens when I speak. I have never felt dehumanized at Hillside, and I recommend them every chance I get. My husband is also a patient of Hillside and sees Dr. John Nolte. I met Dr. John for the first time this past week and to say he is compassionate and caring is an understatement. I watched his interaction with my husband and observed a kind, compassionate human who listens, and engages with his patient. Getting my husband to openly discuss concerns is huge, and I am very grateful to Dr. John for his kindness and compassion for his patient. I also at one time had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Miriam Nolte when Dr. Stewart was not available. Dr. Miriam spent the time to understand my concerns, actively listened and engaged with me, and then discussed our plan forward. At no time did I feel as if she did not know who I was even though I had never seen her before. If you are looking for a medical group who cares about their patients, who actively listen and engage, and treat you like the human being you are, I cannot recommend Hillside strongly enough. I cannot thank Dr. Stewart or Drs. Nolte & Nolte enough for all that they do and continue to do for me and my husband."

"Last year was the first time I was seen at HFM by Dr. Nolte and his staff. The time he took with me and his vast years of experience & knowledge were unmatched. I’m almost 54yoa and have seen many doctors over my life time. Dr. Nolte is one of the most kindest and understanding doctors I’ve ever seen. He listens to your concerns and gives you honest feedback. To the point where, if he wouldn’t have it done, he won’t recommend you having it done - whatever “it” is for you. So, I came back this year for my yearly physical and after leaving his office, realized I will not go anywhere else. It’s hard to find an office & doctor who talks to you straight, takes the time to listen and also laughs or tell jokes with you. It’s apparent, he’s more concerned about the patient than about making a dollar. I call it “old school”! There’s something to be said about an old school doctor who cares about the person but also stays up to date with all the medical world and knows his stuff. What a great place! And the staff is just as pleasant! Thank you HFM! Knowing I have a good doctor in my corner is like having a good mechanic for your vehicle!! It’s priceless and needed."

"With this practice for 20 plus years. Had death related trauma over the past two. Missed some appointments. Changed jobs and going through life. They discontinued my health care and sent my remaking balance to collections (which I didn’t know about) within a month. Saddened that health care providers have turned into this."

"I came in for a blood draw recently and was helped by Tess. Please understand that having blood drawn is not something I like having done. Just the thought of it makes me nauseous. That being said, the experience was quick and literally painless. Tess did a wonderful job putting me at ease and I can honestly say I had no idea when the process started and was surprised and relieved when she let me know it was done. Additionally, I've never had a bad experience there and I try to have my blood tested every year. My results came back quickly. When it comes time to do it again, I'll feel confident that my good experiences at Hillside will be repeated. Thanks for making it quick and painless. It's much appreciated!"
