My father visited Dr Holmsten and the next day he died. This man had a chance at saving my fathers life and instead was very dismissive. Hee was sent home where I found him dead. Pneumonia. Should be easy to diagnose.
I quit going to this clinic after he misdiagnosed me on multiple occasions. My father still trusted him. Don't make the same mistake.

I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Holmsten. He serviced my father and has an excellent geriatric practice.

The office is a dump. It has the feel of a bad clinic in a ppor area of town. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He and his staff are completely inadequate. Their staff was not friendly in the least; they don't return phone calls and seem very overwhelmed. I really didn't feel welcome there. The doctor either didn't read my information or didn't pay any attention to it. Even though he had my information right in front of him, I kept having to explain it to him and remind him why I was there. Dr. Holmsten misdiagnosed me repeatedly and referred me to specialists that I did not need to see. This doctor needs to retire immediately!

Dr. Holmsten has misdiagnosed me twice. He never cares to listen to what I have to say and acts like a know-it-all. He is quick to assume he is right, even when I ask him to consider other ailments. Then when his treatment runs out and I am still in pain, I go to see another doctor. Turns out diagnosing me was quick and simple for other doctors. The difference is they did a thorough check of me before diagnosing, and Dr. Holmsten likesto take his chances guessing.
