Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2022
I had Dr Okeson for almost 20 years. He was the only person (besides his nurse Jennifer) that I ever trusted. He listens, takes his time, will do everything he can to take care of your needs. He’s also not afraid to admit when he doesn’t know alot about a problem and refer you to a specialist. Unfortunately we moved out of state so I have to find someone new. I just hope they are at least half the doctor and person he is.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
