I felt that Dr. Runde truly cared about my concerns. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was actively included in my treatment decisions. His explanation of the benefits of physical therapy was particularly helpful and reassuring.

It's a big ask to find a primary care physician that seems to want to address my issues. Dr Stephen was on par with others I've met. Very nice man though.
