New primary - Dr. Kalb is easy to communicate with. She listens well and asks all the right questions. Questions I wouldn't think to ask and coveres all my health concerns. More

Great if you’re nervous changing doctors - Treated very well here. More

Edit: After speaking with the billing manager Susan. I am happy to change my rating. Really love Dr Kalb and her amazing team. Including the office staff As a patient of this office for almost 10 years, I am extremely disappointed at the service received by Tracy Hoelting today. She told me my daughters test were negative and asked if there was anything else she could help with. STUNNED! I told her, my issue and I needed an answer. She didn’t check my daughter at all until I went to leave because she did nothing. I did tell her my daughter should’ve obviously been scheduled with her doctor, this lady has no clue! I will not be paying a bill for this visit! More

Dr. Kalb was thorough. She was kind. She explained everything and asked if I had questions. I felt comfortable with her. More

Very professional, answered all questions, so I un - Answered questions with the information you need to go forward! More

I believe that she has my best interests in mind. More

She's the best doctor. - Dr Caleb talks to her patient and always makes you feel better. She's a really good person. More

As always I feel like Dr. Kalb gives me time to explain and discuss all my concerns. She has a gentle and friendly demeanor I appreciate. More

I went in for an annual exam and was out in roughly 35-40 minutes. It was extremely efficient and I didn't spend significant amounts of time waiting. At the same time, I didn't feel rushed with the doctor. She asked multiple times if I had questions and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. That was the most impressive annual exam I've had in my 50 plus years. More

1/4/24 having a female issue, my Dr was not available so saw Mr Walker. Gave him details of issue. He poked my stomach through my shirt a few times. Said will get a UA but you have a UTI. He came back in a short time with a script for steroids saying it was UTI. Come back 2 - 3 weeks if not better. 1/30 I saw Dr Kalb (my Dr) she took time for asking questions, listens & tests. She advised there was abnormal cells. On 3/4 OBGYN @ KUMC was doing surgery for STAGE 3 female cancer! Please don't waste your time (it might be more precious than you think) with Mr Walker if you want to see a Dr. Thankful for Dr Kalb & her staff! 5 * for Dr Kalb! More

Professional fast explains things so you can understand them and generally concerned about your problem.Staff is friendly, professional, and very nice. More

I saw Traci Hoelting for pain on my lower right side. She was able to figure out after a few tests that I need a hip replacement. She is knowledgeable and answers questions and was able to figure out what was causing my pain. She and Dr. Kalb were able to sew up a gash on my husband's leg with precision .She has a caring attitude and has good ideas.Also, I love her nurse, Natasha. More

Dr. Kalb is great. She is a first rate Primary Care Provider. She takes her time and listens to me when I tell her the reason for my appointment. More

Dr. Kalb listens to what I have to say and builds a plan with me. Not for me. I like being involved in my plan of care! More

Dr. Kalb has consistently been respectful, patient ,and gentle towards me as a patient. She cares about my opinions and concerns as an individual and whole person, not just as a body. i like how she seems as though she has all the time in the world to give me, and follows through with what she says she will do. More

Dr kalb is very efficient and seems to cover all my concerns at my visit. More

Dr. Kalb shares info with you and offers sound and reasonable solutions. She takes the time to really listen to my concerns. She is very approachable, I appreciate her. More

Dr. Kalb and her staff have always treated me right. They take the time to listen to your ailments. The staff is open to exploring any research that a patient has done for themselves. I’ve learned over the years that you should thoroughly describe your symptoms for the General Practitioner and not expect them to sort of guess what is wrong. They see many people everyday, so don’t be late! Also make sure that you know what and how much medication be it prescription, over the counter or alternative you take daily. Her staff has also helped me acquire home testing equipment which is a win-win for both patient and doctor. More

Dr. Kalb is great!! Listens well and takes my concerns seriously. Wouldn't go anywhere else. More

Dr. Kalb is wonderful! She’s so good with my daughter! She always treat me and my entire family with respect, and always goes the extra mile to be supportive. I wouldn’t have my daughter if it weren’t for Dr. Kalb! More

Dr. Kalb was so conscientious and took her time listening to my issues and did what she could to help me with all my concerns. I didn't feel rushed and definitely felt heard. I feel lucky she is my doctor. More

Dr. Kalb is a great doc, low key, conscientious, and thorough. More

Dr. Melissa Kalb, her nurse Jordan and the entire team at Lawrence Family Practice are exceptional at providing patient care. They are responsive to patient needs and concerns, spend time educating patients and explaining preventive, diagnostic and interventive/treatment recommendations, AND-probably most importantly-CARE. There is an art to being both gentle and assertive, which I feel this team has mastered. I credit Dr. Kalb with saving my life when she quickly referred me to a specialist team upon noting changes to my usual lumpy breasts. Her swift action resulted in identification of an aggressive cancer. She spends AS MUCH TIME with patients as they need—never making anyone feel that she needs to move on to something else. It’s a wonderful difference from how many practices are run. I love this team and have so much gratitude for them. More

Dr Kalb is a very good doctor. She takes the time to listen to my concerns. If I have questions, she answers them. She gives me direction on how to better take care of my health. I really enjoy having her as my doctor. More

It's a good feeling knowing your child's health is in good and competent hands. I have never been made to feel as though I'm overreacting or being too careful when it comes to concerns I have regarding my daughter's health and medical issues. I do believe Dr. Kalb genuinely cares about my daughter's health and that any concerns we may have are addressed. Thank you. More

I've been going here for years and wouldn't trade Dr Kalb for anyone! More

Absolutely love this facility, all of the doctor's I've had a chance to see, and the friendly nursing team. As a veterinarian I'm pretty picky about where I get my own medical care and want to make sure I work with a team who knows their stuff. When I moved to the area and saw all that they offered here I was really impressed. They have so much right there that I don't have to go driving all over the place. I have my regular appointments, gynecology appointments, OB appointments, kids wellness appointments, ultrasounds, x-rays, labwork drawn, walk-in urgent appointments, and pharmacy all in the same place. To boot, with Dr. McKeon's additional training in obstetrics she was able to deliver my son at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The one trade off is that because they're doing so much (especially walk-ins and emergency deliveries) sometimes you wait a bit longer or they ask you to reschedule. I bring a book and the waiting room is comfortable. I've always found though that when it's my turn, they give me the same time and attention as they've given everyone else and I never feel rushed. Trust me, as a fellow medical professional I sometimes have a lot of questions. Dr. McKeon has been great about getting me consistent answers based on data and recent studies, and finding me an answer if she doesn't know it offhand. She's gone out of her way to work with labs and my health insurance when we were looking at specific tests I needed because I'm a veterinarian. If I have a question I can contact her via the online patient portal and their team gets back to me promptly. My husband has seen Dr. Bradley Phipps and loved his blunt straight-forward style. I've also seen Dr. Kalb, Dr. Johanning, and Dr. Carla Phipps and loved them all. Unfortunately most people only take the time to review when they're frustrated, but every time I interact with these folks again I want to write more good things. (This time it was for great online advice via the patient portal on strategies for handling my son's cold - which they've seen on physical exam recently.) More

I have always had pleasant and caring experiences with Dr. Kalb More
