James Ausfahl, MD

First visit today went very well. Very friendly staff and the Doc has a great sense of humor which can put you at ease. Was great with answering questions that I had.

Always friendly, good natured, informed, and professional.

Dr Ausphal has treated me well over past 4 years. His experience provides quick diagnosis. He likes to share jokes, which should put you at ease if you are nervous.

He's a good doctor, answers your questions and explains well.

I love Dr. Asfahl!

Very unprofessional and unpleasant man. Failed to provide a thorough physical exam. Made inaccurate diagnosis and flat out lied on my chart. Blatant disregard for duty of Care! Prescribed medication that had adverse effects on my health and well being with no timely followup to monitor my reactions. I Ended UP in OSF ER. No followup call or a simple how are you doing? Lacking
In basic human respect for the dignity of people in need of basic health care. Very Judgemental and inaccurate with his medical knowledge and observations. Very depressing and terrible experience for me. I agree with others reviews and negative experiences with this Dr. Glad he's retiring and hopefully getting help for his obvious dementia

After expressing my dissatisfaction with another staff member over the phone due a delay in care resulting me missing days of my depression, anxiety, and PTSD medication, I made a same-day appointment with Doctor Ausfahl to rectify things. Ausfahl came in without knocking and immediately scolded me, whilst standing above me and pointing his finger in my face. I let him speak and when he was finished attempted to respond but was continually interrupted and repeatedly told to "bottle it" if I wanted the appointment to continue. He told me if I didn't like the care they provided that I could leave and go elsewhere, knowing full well that I was out of meds and had no choice but to sit through the appointment regardless of how I was treated, or risk go even longer without my medication. I was nothing but polite to him and told him I didn't understand why he was acting so rudely, he told me that my not understanding was a "me problem" and said "stop mentioning it. You understand me? It's finished. Move on." He proceeded to ignore my concerns and any input I gave regarding the things I wanted to address medically. He showed no remorse and offered no apology as I panicked and cried throughout the appointment, telling me to "get up there" on the table for the assessment and continuing to tell me to take deep breaths as if I was not clearly distressed. I have never felt so dehumanized as I did as this man continued an assessment I felt I couldn't say no to. I have worked in healthcare for 10 years myself and have never witnessed a doctor behave in such an abusive manner. I believe that because I advocated for myself and expressed dissatisfaction after his office dropped the ball that I was retaliated against and bullied by this doctor. After my appointment I was not given an after appointment summary and was told I could just leave. Upon calling the pharmacy, the doctor prescribed a medication for weightloss that I did not request and was given no information on. After looking it up online it appears I have several contraindications. This is dangerous and reckless behavior. This guy seemed nice enough the first couple times I saw him but there is no excuse for the way I was treated today. Avoid at all costs!

He is very rude. He saw my mother and was aggressive when he touched her. When she complained of how hard he grabbed her head he stated " are we gonna do this my way cause if not you will need to reschedule our visit". Very rude..

He’s the worst doctor ive ever seen. He doesnt knock before he walks into your room and he prescribes you a prescription without even telling you what he’s prescribing it for.

Avoid this Dr if at all possible
