Wonderful physician. Kind and knowledgeable and not in a hurry to get through the visit.

09/16/2025

I had other issues besides doing the yearly wellness exam, and we ran out of time, so I didn't get all my questions answered, which was frustrating, but I do understand about the time constraints. But we scheduled a followup appointment in two weeks to address remaining concerns. I really like Dr. Axtell, and she addressed what she could during the time we had.

08/25/2025

It was great. She took her time and listened with all I said and answered all my questions

08/22/2025

Would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone

08/20/2025

Dr. Axtell is a compassionate provider. More so than what many of our doctors display these days. It seem all too mechanical, and there really isn't time anymore during a visit to get down to brass tacks before it's time to wind up the visit. It's a shame that our medical system has come to this. I'm 76, and I'm fearful of what our system is becoming. DR Axtell does her very best to be efficient with the time provided. She listens attentively, and right away seeks a solution, and looks for the next best step to take. I have a multitude of med problems at this point, unfortunately, but Dr. Axtell offers encouragement and solutions. Taking time to offer compassion and encouragement, I believe, is part of the healing process. I wish Doctors would be allowed to 'doctor' without interference from insurance company and hospital constraints. It's getting downright scary, and that doesn't help anyone's health journey!! I sincerely pray that we can get past the bottom line($$$) at some point, and start to care about 'healing' again! Thank you for indulging me for a moment!

08/19/2025

Wonderful! She was helpful and informative, listened to my concerns, answered my questions and offered helpful information. I’m happy to have found her!

As I wrote previously Dr. Axtell was so very comfortable and easy to talk to. I didn't feel rushed and she generally was very attentive to everything I asked her. I felt she is the perfect fit for me. Dr. Axtell is also seeing my husband [name] on [date]. It is just a weird turn of circumstances when I was looking for a doctor for him and her name came up. He said he preferred a male but I thought this might be a great thing that we have the same doctor. He has Alzheimers.

07/23/2025

07/15/2025

07/02/2025

I appreciate her level of knowledge, and ability to communicate effectively! I can tell she is a very caring and compassionate provider...that is something lacking in today's Healthcare system! They don't get enough time to really be with their patients anymore. I hear that complaint all the time from patients that have recently visited their doctor! They are restricted by the 'business' end of things! 'Time is money'. Hope this changes in the near future!! Dr Axtell is awesome!

07/01/2025

Happy to have you overseeing our health maintenance.

06/30/2025

Appreciated the time she spent with me very nice doctor

Saint Alphonsus is incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Andrea Axtell on their team. She is the kind of physician who goes far beyond checking boxes—she listens, truly listens, with compassion, intellect, and a desire to understand the full picture of her patients’ health. Her knowledge is matched by her heart, and that rare combination is what makes her stand out in today’s medical world. Dr. Axtell has been a cornerstone in my care journey. She has not only helped coordinate complex care across multiple specialties, but she’s also been a steady advocate and trusted voice when answers were hard to find. She never makes you feel rushed or dismissed. Instead, she empowers you with information, empathy, and a genuine sense that you’re not facing your health challenges alone. Saint Alphonsus didn’t just gain a doctor with her addition—they gained a fierce ally for their patients and a rare gem in healthcare. I’m beyond grateful to be under her care, and I know many others will feel the same.
