I think your office is very well run Dr Thompson is excellent.
Dec-2023
Their front desk staff is incredibly unpleasant. They do not communicate as needed. Trying to get them to confirm any information is like pulling teeth, they answer only in assumptions. Then you are made to feel like a difficult patient because you ask for confirmation. I try to follow my doctors directions, only to be met with such resistance from the receptionists. The nurses and doctors are great, but this year has been rough with their support staff.

Excited that new doctors are coming to the Saranac Lake Location. I particularly like the Patient Portal.

We called Saranac Lake Family Health when Plattsburgh's Hudson Headwaters would not see our child when they were sick. They could not provide a sick visit with our doctor. The nurse was very rude. They run the Plattsburgh office like a business and do not show care and consideration for their patients when they are sick and struggling.

Very caring Dr Rutz and takes time to listen to everyone
Love Dr. Wilson! She’s amazing! Very informative, really listens to your concerns and is very welcoming!
