John Immel & Leslie Tim
Re: Hill Physicians Primary Care Doctors (March 2004)
I'd highly recommend Dr Leslie Tim. She is very thorough. I
have been using her for 3 years. Her bedside manner isn't the
warmest, but she is worth it. A friend recommended her to me.
I'd also recommend seeing the nurse practitioner, Miranda
something, if Dr Tim isn't available and you need to see
someone.
I'm not sure if she is accepting new patients.

I've been seeing Dr. Tim for over a year and I really
recommend her. She has helped me manage my asthma much
better, the improvement is really terrific. She is
thorough, proactive, asks a lot of questions, and has done
an excellent job of identifying all the health issues I
need to work on. For example, when I was switching
medications around and using complementary herbs, she was
always careful to stay up to date on what I was taking so
she had the whole picture of what was going into my system.
Other previous doctors have not been that thorough, and
didn't catch potentially bad combination of drugs.
She is fairly direct and speaks quickly, so be prepared for
that. For me, that's an effective approach.
The office is also VERY well run. I've always been seen on
time.
I chose Dr. Leslie Tim as my primary care provider based on
website recommendations. She is bright and highly skilled,
and I have no doubt that the quality of her medical care is
first-rate. However, if you're looking for someone with a
good bedside manner, look elsewhere. I never felt she
listened to me; more than once I was scolded for things
that were out of my control (e.g., her office staff forgot
to mail me a form she wanted completed before my
appointment), and ultimately, in order to make office
visits more pleasant, I began to keep certain questions and
concerns to myself. I switched to Kaiser a few months ago,
where I have been treated with more respect and warmth.
Leslie Tim is great. She has really set up her practice to
work for best care for patients - very accessible and
short waits. She might not be taking new patients, but if
she is, I would highly recommend her. Both my husband and
I have received great care from Dr. Tim.

Unless there is another Dr. Tim, I agree completely with the comments made
here about her. My 90 year old mother is cared for by another doctor in the
same practice; I believe there are 7 or 8 doctors in the group. My mom's doc
is a very bright doctor, but he has the personality of a board, and can be
very rigid. Dr. Tim has taken calls for him and each time I have dealt with
her I come away thinking, 'I really wish she were the person caring for Mom".
We can't switch within the group or we would. Dr. Immel in the same
practice is also wonderful; very kind and compassionate. There are still a
few good doctors around!
