Dr Hulsted is very attentive. He took his time with us , really got to know both my wife and I and our 6 month old . There was a lot of back and forth conversation and we were not pressured or harassed into doing something that we wholeheartedly do not want to do. He is very knowledgeable and speaks to you as an equal not like he is somehow better because he has MD after his name . This is how a Dr - Patient relationship should truly be. He will be taking care of my daughters from now on.

Hi there
I would like to provide feedback for this DAN doctor you have on your site as a resource.

This doctor is an insult to our “Autism family” and he should not be listed on your page as a resource. I am disgusted how he didn’t show up for my first appointment with him and how his equally unprofessional receptionist did not even ask for my contact info when she made a feeble attempt to apologize for him not coming into the office today. I have posted the below on Yelp, Heath Review, I plan to email TACA and review him on Facebook. As parents with children on the Spectrum, our lives are challenging enough and we put our hope in these medical “professionals” that come recommended !

MY REVIEW
Highly unprofessional experience. I drove over an hour for my appointment. When i arrived the office was locked, i sat on the floor by the door with my 3 year old who has autism, waiting and trying to call their office. 10 minutes after my appointment time, a lady arrives, and tells me the doctor "is not in today" I reply " impossible because I have an appointment, and I have just drive over an hour to get here” , to which she feebly replies in a unconcerned voice , "sorry, we wanted to call you but we didn't have your phone number" my 6th grader could come up with a better excuse than her pathetic reply. I find this unacceptable medical practice, and service and if this is his LACK OF COMMITMENT before I even met him, I should be thankful i didn't have to trust my special needs child with his medical care!!!

They paid close attention to me and all of my questions were answered. Their staff was not that friendly, and didn't go out of their way to make me feel welcome. I felt like my needs were mostly met, but they didn't make any extra effort. Also the office help was VERY unefficient, and their billing proceddures are totally UNPREDICTABLE. Never the same price for the same service time after time.

They were somewhat easy to reach in an emergency. They didn't answer the call at first, but did eventually call me back. One thing I noticed about their office was how absolutely fantastic it smelled. They must clean or sanitize all the time. Not only do they never postpone my appointment, they always try to get me in as soon as possible. I love that I can always get an appointment right away, and I never have to worry about them rescheduling it. They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been too. They always make an extra effort to be polite and courteous. They are an absolute expert in the field. I would never feel unsafe or apprehensive in their care.

Best doctor we have ever seen. I wish we could've taken him with us when we moved. He looks for the problem rather than being quick to prescribe meds.
