Dr. Nicholas Watson is the most caring and thorough doctor I have ever seen in my 72 years. He is the BEST of the BEST! Always on the ball with information about bloodwork and test results.
Beth Bowers listens to my concerns and provides good solutions providing excellent care, appropriate referrals and timely help for my concerns. She relies on appropriate lab tests or scans to provide excellent care.
I’ve only been seeing Dr. Smith for about six months now and just wish I could’ve found him many years ago. Dr. Smith is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen and hope he continues to practice for many years ahead. I wouldn’t want to see anyone else but him. Very caring, compassionate, easy to talk to and down to earth guy. I can’t say enough good things about him.
Kelly listened to my concerns, followed up on previous blood work and informed me of tests that were needed. She was informative and made me feel like I was both seen and heard.
She provided excellent care. Her diagnosis and treatment resulted in my quick recovery. I couldn’t ask for a better visit than she and her staff gave me.
I am. Rey pleased with the care I receive at this practice. My doctor is Dr. Watson and he always makes time to listen and address all my concerns. I never have a problem with getting an appointment, even if it is for last minute I am always worked in. The staff is very professional and pleasant. I have recommended this practice several times already.
Very satisfied with my doctor I think Dr. Shealy gives a very good thorough exam and takes the time to talk to you and explain any questions that you may have very good doctor
Dr. Askins has always given my family the best care possible... down to earth and very knowledgeable. He is a great listener. Would suggest him to anyone looking for a good doctor
I did have difficulty when I called to schedule the appointment. The person I talked with did not understand the purpose of the visit. When I arrived for the appointment the doctor and staff did not realize why I was there. They were most accommodating in meeting my needs.
Dr Askins is an excellent doctor and I always feel very comfortable with what I am seeing him for . Please let him know that I have participated and would always recommend him to
Dr. Shealy & team are always great, At times I may not understand some decisions, but at the end of the day he is my Dr, and a trusted one at that, and knows from expertise whats best for my health journey. I will continue to use them as my care provider
My visit with Dr Coker was exceptional. His explanation of the care I needed was easily understood and his calm
And pleasant demeanor was very helpful. The front desk and the nursing were very friendly and helpful. Overall outstanding visit.
Beth Bowers was very attentive, respectful and showed concern for my health and helping with my problem! Highly recommend her! Everyone was nice and helpful!
Kelley took the time to go over everything thoroughly with me, making me feel seen, heard, and taken care of. This was so reassuring to help me figure out why I felt so unwell, especially when she was able to provide answers I was unable to find before.
Dr West and her staff are amazing. She always listens to me. Her nurse always listen to me and that means everything to me to find a physician that actually cares about her patience. She is amazing.
I have ALWAYS been happy with the care and attention I have received here. Everyone has been nice, professional and concerned with my health.
I have never had to wait long to see my doctor. He is attentive to my concerns and I never feel rushed.
Dr Smith is a great doctor for my son who is nonverbal and has autism and intellectual disability. I greatly appreciate the care and compassion that Dr. Smith and others provide my son.
Very pleased with Dr. Coker. Very thorough and professional. Also from checkin, bloodwork, and checking out is very good. Couldn't be more pleased! Thanks
Dr. Coker is tops. He is caring, takes time to hear your issues, addresses concerns, is genuine, does not push you through the system/visit just to get you out. He is a caring, compassionate, empathetic and understanding Dr. My entire family (down to my grandchildren) now see him. I recommend Dr. Coker to all my friends. If there is an award for Best Dr., I would vote for him. God bless him.
I absolutely love my doctor, Dr. Benjamin Askins. After 30+ years of going to numerous doctors, I finally decided to reach out to the office for a primary care doctor. It was the best decision I ever made, health wise. I will forever be a patient of his…
Dr Askins is an extremely knowledgeable, professional physician who i wish other physicians would emulate. Exceptional care with all my concerns addre answered
Dr. Bowers shows a true concern for your healthcare. She does an outstanding job explaining things and helping you make the correct decision. Her professionalism is truly second to none.
She is thorough with a pleasant/non-punitive demeanor. I feel she tries to provide options and let me know consequences if goals are not met. Also she is good at explaining rationale behind treatment decisions to gain my confidence and make feel a part of the decisions.
I got a flu shot at my appointment and I passed out. Dr Bowers was SO attentive. She responded immediately to make me feel better, explained what had happened, and even called me on my way home to make sure I was feeling ok. She showed more concern than any doctor I?ve ever seen.
Beth Ann Bowers is always professional, personable and engaged. She thoroughly explains test results and we discuss options in order to make sound decisions regarding the current health issue. She consults those with more exhaustive knowledge when necessary and provides sound advice. Very happy with her health care.
