About Paul M. Knouff
The reason I chose to focus on primary care when I went to medical school is because I was thinking about what type of medicine would be the most challenging. For me, that's definitely primary care. A primary care doctor has to help his patients deal with every kind of medical problem, and also mental problems, should they arise. So keeping informed about every aspect of medicine is a challenge, but that's exactly what I want to offer my patients.My favorite part of being a doctor is that I can actually make a difference in my patients' lives — and not just by diagnosing and helping them get through a major illness, but also by giving good advice on everyday things, like exercise and diet.

While my first choice is always to spend time with my wife and kids, I've been known to go fishing or hiking in nice weather, and tinker in my woodshop and garage on those rainy weekends. I also spend time with an exercise video I have, since I don't mind looking silly in the privacy of my own home.

Providence Patient
Dr. Knauff is the best primary care doctor I have ever had and is the reason for all of my high ratings. My rating is limited to the experience with Dr. Knauff and his staff. I have had other doctors in the3 Providence system that would not get nearly the rating as Dr. Knauff. We communicate with each other - that includes listening, responding, discussing and understanding. Very rare in my experiences.
Providence Patient
The doctor was nice, but because it was not a routine check up, dod not ask many questions.
Providence Patient
Good experience. Everyone very friendly.

Providence Patient
This was an appointment establishing care for my 7yo son. I do wish the provider would have Interacted with my son more instead of directing basic questions like his name and age to me.

Providence Patient
All went well per usual with my visit.
Providence Patient
He is extremely competent. The best doctor I've ever had. He is often delayed 15 to 25 minutes beyond the appointment time. Likely due to his exceptional care that can delay his ability to adhere to tight schedule. I suspect this is because he takes the time he thinks is necessary for each patient. He is not hurried when he gets to me. I appreciate his dedication to provide what each patient needs.
