Dr Dahlinghaus is an amazing physician! She is very knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to help my three children that see her. For years she has worked hard to keep my children healthy and keeps an eye on their entire being-- not just the kidney aspect. I trust her medical choices for my children and to have that trust in a physician is such a relief. I appreciate her care more than words can say. She has been a blessing to my family!

It seems as though the Dr was getting patients confused. She said that they normally take the blood pressure of the patient, but heard that my son was being difficult and didn't want the blood pressure cuff on. I informed her that no one attempted or even asked to use a blood pressure cuff. The nurse took my son's height and weight and we immediately went into another room. She then thought that my son already had the urine collector bag on, again, something no one asked me about or attempted to put on my son. They didn't schedule my son for an ultrasound, we didn't discuss anything concerning during the appt to make her want to schedule ultrasound. It seems like something that could've been scheduled the same time as when the initial appointment was scheduled, instead of "let me see if they're available now for an ultrasound" Just seems careless and makes me think they're overly busy and not caring for each patient properly. The Ultrasound tech we saw was great and super nice. She made me and my son feel comfortable and relaxed during the ultrasound. The RN who sent the results message in the portal got my son's name wrong. Again, just seems careless and as if they have too much going on. I really hope they are doing their jobs properly and hope that I can trust their findings.

Dr.Daulinghaus is absolutely amazing. She takes time to explain everything and makes sure all your questions are answered. She has made not only my daughter feel comfortable but her father and I as well. She has been with us the entire time and makes herself avaliable for every need we have.
