Patient Reviews
Aug 30, 2023
Dr. Monson did a great job diagnosing a rare autoimmune disease I suddenly acquired that caused sever headaches, chills, and skin issues. Not an easy disease to diagnose and he researched my symptoms and ordered the needed tests quickly. He had to fight the insurance company to get approval for the tests that confirmed his diagnosis. He started steroid medicine before the confirmed diagnosis that likely kept me out of the ER and prevented serious permanent damage that a delay in treatment could have caused. I have total trust in him as my main physician.
