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. a happy patient

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. Jill

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!
