Just specific details like why I take Wellbutrin. It was assumed I break down and start crying when I'm overwhelmed but I've never said that. It's understandable I know they see a lot of people
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/9/2026
From the time that I entered the building until the moment that I walked out, I was treated with respect and kindness. Gretchen Kaune is one of the most caring and compassionate person that I have ever met in the medical field. She makes sure that all my questions are answered. I am very happy that I am a patient with Prisma Health.

No improvements needed. I appreciate the online check in and was seen quickly and courteously and appreciate the cleanliness of the facility.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/16/2025
I cannot think of anything that could make it better. It's always bright and cheerful. All of the front desk are very nice. NP Gretchen KAUNE is the best practitioner I've ever had. Somehow I always feel better after seeing her no matter how bad I felt at the beginning.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/10/2025
I can not think of anything that I would like differently, everyone was great.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/30/2025
I had a wonderful physical there with Gretchen and the staff. The receptionist was most definitely very friendly. That's why I continue to go there. It's the only place I want to go and I trust everybody there most all the time. So it's a great place and I want to continue to go there.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2025
The doctor was not engaged with me. I was a new patient to Prisma health and she lacked communication skills to ease my concerns about seeing them.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2025
This practice is perfect.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/21/2025
Nothing - this group is outstanding and dedicated to their patients!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/21/2025
There is nothing, I been with my provider for years. Trusted and reliable provider, couldn't as for a better healthcare provider. NP GRETCHEN KAUNE, is the best. The entire staff at Ballentine family medicine. Is above reproach

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
Excellent services
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
There is absolutely nothing that Gretchen can do to improve on pt care
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/13/2025
The only suggestion I have that could make the process even better is once checked in, since we do the e-check-in, once we arrive at the desk, to give us just an idea about how long we may be waiting, especially since my appointment was with my child.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/11/2025
Excellent visit I was only confused on when to come back for my TRT test. I was told to come and I was also told I would be called. No big deal so I'll just head in on Monday. Other than that everything is and was top tier.

None. Nurses seemed a bit aloof but were professional and competent. It was fine. Maybe they were just tired. The excellent rapport with and personability of my PCP Gretchen Kaune matters most to me.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/7/2025
I never had a provider or staff that treated me so well and respectful.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/8/2025

There's no way you could offer any better care. I just am so impressed with Gretchen. For someone that does not like going to the doctor, she makes this a very easy experience, and I really trust her. Thank you.

Can't think of anything additional. The staff is very considerate and personable. The time spent there is quickly but efficient. Didn't feel rushed during the appt.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/14/2025
I would have liked more information about the test results. I don't know much if anything about My Chart. And I understand that perhaps given appropriate time I will be informed. I hope so.
