"Dr. Sjoquist is a great addition to Fremont County. I couldn't ask for a better primary care doctor. She is truly excellent in all the categories of this review."
— SageWest Healthcare Patient Review"Dr Bender is very thorough in all areas. He does not make quick assumptions, but is a deep thinker to make the right decision for the patient. He welcomes the patient's input before making a final decision of care."
— Healthgrades Patient Review"The front desk gal with long curly hair is rude and I noted this at all three visits. I will try my hardest to check in with someone else in the future. The front desk is the first window of the practice and she does not represent the practice in a positive way."
