Gretchen Hong, DNP

"Owie arms from shots and I didn't get a sticker! Ha Can I suggest valet parking? PLEASE"

"I appreciated that Gretchen listened to my concerns and was able to help set me up with a referral. I wish she would have talked with me a bit more to get to know me, but otherwise, she was very professional and easy to work with."

"Dr. Hong was very helpful and she listened to my concerns and she pressed for more answers. So she's having testing being done and I really enjoyed our visit together."

"Gretchen is wonderful! She explains things very clearly and is very upbeat."

"Both my Husband and I are so happy that we found Dr. Gretchen Hong. We trust her explicitly. She puts us at ease and explains everything concern of ours and hers to us and we know that she truly cares about our current and ongoing healthcare. She never makes us feel as she is rushing through our visits with her. We wish we would have become her patients sooner than we did."

"The nurse Riley and Dr Hong were both exceptional. I felt very comfortable with them and glad I was recommended to them."

"All good, very friendly, professional and efficient."

"Easy appointment check in process with text messages and links to check in"

"Gretchen Hong was extremely attentive and she really listened to my situation and problems that what I was having. I appreciate her very, very much and I appreciate the care that I have been receiving from Medical Associates and MercyOne. Thank you."

"Although there were five receptionist at the check-in counter, it took upwards of five minutes before they were willing to talk to me. This was concerning to me because I was later than usual for my appointment and barely checked in on time."

"This was my first encounter with Dr. Hong and Riley. I was left feeling heard and well cared for. Excellent, thorough explanation of my situation and prompt, concise plan of action. Definite assets for Medical Associates!"

"Gretchen Hong was very thorough and courteous."

"I love having Gretchen Hong as my physician!! She really listens to me and I feel safe with her."

"I was appreciative that Dr. Hong did my physical even though it was our first meeting. When I originally asked for this, the receptionist said that I had to make an appointment to meet her first and schedule a physical after the initial meeting. This was a relief and I was very appreciative. I am also thankful that they switch from Dr. Steffen was smooth and not a problem that I wanted to see a female doctor. Please tell Dr. Steffen thank you for his past care. I am excited to work with Dr. Hong."

"Dr. Hong is the best doctor for me. She doesn't make me feel stupid for asking any questions and she gives answers that make sense. She is kind and takes time to give you her full attention. I would recommend her to anyone!"

"The protocol was for a post ER visit. It was very clear that this is what the provider was focused on-that, and that's it. What precipitated the ER visit was more complex than SI joint instability. I'm 76 and come from a long line of physicians. Yesterday's visit was a disappointment."

"Gretchen is an amazing provider."

"Gretchen is an amazing provider, so glad she is there."

"The Staff is awesome Everyone is up to speed with my needs. I'm so happy with the service so far"

"As usual, Gretchen and her staff treated me with the respect and care that a VIP deserves!!!"

"Gretchen Hong and her staff are the best!"

"Great day, as always."

"All went very well and was easy"

"gretche Gretchen Hong is thorough, compassionate, and caring. I trust her completely. She has been a wonderful addition to your team. I hope you never let her get away because I'd like her to be my primary caregiver for the rest of my life."

"Gretchen and her nurse, Riley, were wonderful!"

"Non judgmental, easy to talk to, took enough time to understand my concerns. Looking forward to having an awesome regular physician"

"Gretchen is very kind and she followed up with me personally herself to explain test results and my options."

"Everything went well and was on time."

"I have been a patient of Gretchen Hong prior to Medical Associates. I was very pleased when she started her practice there. She always makes me feel very comfortable and is very informative, and I will continue to see her. Thanks. Bye."

"I feel like looking for another doctor"

"Gretchen is so helpful and always takes time to explain, offer options, and answer questions. I can't ask for anything more from a primary physician. She's excellent!"

"Medical Associates was such a better experience than my previous health care provider - everyone I spoke with was 100% courteous, polite & attentive to my concerns. VERY happy with your services, thank you!"

"Very professional and courteous! Actually listened to me."

"Gretchen and her nurse were both very personable and professional. I look forward to future visits!"

"Correction always listens to me and what is wrong and she gets to the bottom of whatever is going on with me. She does get the accurate tests and she's just very thorough and you've got a great provider there and her absolutely amazing and I've referred all my family to her. She sees nine of my family members now."

"Doctor Hong listened to what I was saying, and took action to help me figure out and understand the treatment that I needed. I had visited [REDACTED] both of Medical associates and neither one of them had the bedside manner or the urgency at which Dr. Hong did."

"The doctor was very, very understanding and very, very kind. And I think that she is an excellent doctor and that I have picked the right one."

"Yes, I did get an appointment as soon as I asked, so I misrepresented it by pressing one or no on the first question. But otherwise, everything was great. Thank you."

"The only thing I was disappointed in was the wait to get seen. I am very pleased with Dr Hong's care. She sent me to Lab right away and I was called with results on Monday. Very happy ?"

"Great"

"Ms. Gretchen Hong, NP was so very, very nice. She was EXTEMELY attentive to my comments/concerns. Addressed each and every comment I had. Ms. Gretchen had Riley flush my ears...which REALLY needed it! Both Ms. Gretchen and Ms. Riley made me feel so comfortable which then resulted in a relaxed interaction. It was great. They treated me with the utmost attention and more importantly, respect. I do not believe most people like to go to the Dr. office, but I am now looking forward to my upcoming appointment. I would like to thank both Ms. Gretchen and Ms. Riley, THANKS!"

"I would like to suggest valet parking and drive through pharmacy. Thanks!"

"Gretchen is an awesome PCP. I am so lucky to have her!!"

"I just wanted to mention I had a rude experience with the receptionist at internal medicine. I'm mostly deaf & wear hearing aids. I asked a question on the phone & she replied rude and direct plus said it very slowly torwards me which wasn't needed towards me. I let her know that I thought she was very disrespectful to me. Told her she might wanna work on her communication skills dealing with all kinds of people. [REDACTED]"

I know it seems like a very small thing to say that to somebody, but it was the nicest thing anyone had said to me all day and I really truly appreciated it. Thank you for your kindness. It actually brightened my whole day."

"First time seeing Gretchen, and she was so nice, kind and thorough. She listened to my concerns and addressed them. My nurse was also amazing, personable and kind."

"Gretchen Hong was very nice, listened carefully, gave me great advice."

"I felt an instant rapport with her and absolutely want to continue to see Gretchen. The one thing that gave me a concern is that I was post-hospitalization checkup expressed concern about getting three updated vaccines at the same time. And she said, no, you're healthy, you could do it. Unfortunately, I got the flu and that wiped me out for New Year's Eve. Maybe a good thing, but I'm surprised she didn't take that more seriously. Anyway, other than that, I'm looking forward to being a part of that practice. Thank you."

"I was experiencing a health problem and Gretchen and Allison were able to fit me in on short notice."

"Gretchen and her nurse were excellent. Spent time going over my medical/family history."

"Gretchen Hong and her nurse we're fantastic!! I was nervous and they really made me feel cared for and listened to!!! Reception lady at the front desk was the opposite, though -distracted, a little rude, paid almost no attention to me, no smile or kindness, & then scheduled me with the wrong provider at the wrong time, I had to reschedule myself later correctly."

"Dr. Hong and Allison are the most exceptional Medical team my Husband (he is also Dr. Hong's patient) and I have ever experienced! We are so grateful to have found them. We know that our healthcare is in good hands with them. Thank you, Allison and Dr. Hong for listening, for sharing and for genuinely caring about us."

"Dr. Hong was a wonderful provider. She welcomed me into her practice, and I felt very confident and comfortable as her patient. I feel as though I would definitely feel comfortable going back to her. She was very understanding. She was also very responsive and trauma-informed. I definitely had a great experience and would recommend her to anyone."

"I am so appreciative of the calm inviting nature of both nurse Allison and NP Gretchen Hong during my visit. Doctor visits are hard for me and I felt very calm and heard during my whole visit. Allison assured I knew I could be in contact with any questions by phone or the portal and made sure I had their card with number and her name for future reference. Gretchen was calm and non judgemental. She reviewed my history thoroughly with me and made sure all my questions were answered. I am very glad she was available to take me on as a patient. Thank you to the whole team for connecting me with Gretchen and for the great experience during my visit. I actually feel like I will have no hesitation calling the office for future needs."
