I was a patient of Julia Koestner's for 10 years until she left the practice. I had a positive, healthy and collaborative relationship with Julia. In March I saw Dr. Allen for my annual and was shocked by her behavior in my appointment. I felt sad about something in my life so I was quiet in the appointment. She asked me two questions and then got reactive "is this not a good fit, do I need to get you another provider". I was stunned all I had done was answer two questions with simple responses. She seemed triggered by something and completely over-reactive to nothing. As we continued the questions, now with me super uncomfortable about her reactivity, she said she was not comfortable doing the exam. Again, she was overly reactive to me, with no valid reason. I drove 30 minutes to get to the annual that was due. She would not agree to do the exam without someone else present. She treated me like I was a threat to her due to whatever her own issues are that she came in the door with. She made the whole appointment about her and not the patient in front of her. She seemed to expect me to be a certain way instead of just being present with me. This is even harder because I have read good reviews about her. I feel she needed to get some guidance from a superior since she was so overly reactive to me and this had a negative and very concerning impact on me. I filed a complaint and would never ever feel comfortable seeing her. Ever.

I have had to go here for imaging and appointments for my second pregnancy several times as my regular provider is booked out.
At best, they have been essentially non responsive, not even getting my ultrasound to my provider within a week. At worst, they have been dismissive to any concerns, even if you have test results flagged as abnormal by multiple doctors.
The facility is nice, but the staff leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been going to Julia for over a year now, and she has been amazing with me. She always listens, validates and addresses my concerns. It is evident that she has a passion for delivering quality, informed care. I drive from Kalamazoo just to see her, and I am so glad to have her as my NP.

I would not trust Julia Koestner at all. She doesn’t know what she is doing and tried belittling me in front of my husband back on July 26 2018. She caused me much pain and Dr. Peterson had to go in and fix her mess up by having me come in for outpatient surgery. Needless to say, I am being charged for her mistake. I am currently fighting the charges because Dr. Peterson had to clean up her mess.

We will be in the process of filling a report against Julia Koestner in the OB/GYN department for improper conduct.
My wife came home in tears yesterday over the treatment she received from Koestner. She was belittled by Koestner in front of my 6 year old stepdaughter and told that she had "wasted her time" with my wife's office visit.
This is unacceptable behavior and should be dealt with accordingly.
