Michele Head is an amazingly thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate PCP. There are very few people I'd make the trek to Irmo for from Forest Acres, but she is one of them.
Dr. Head, is a very caring and compassionate doctor. She makes sure that I’m staying on the right path with my health. If I have any concerns or issues she address them immediately. Over the past [...] my life has become enriched immensely by having a doctor who care so much about my health and mental health. She is an inspirational woman and doctor. She always corrects me when I call her doctor but the last time she did that I told her no ma’am, you are a doctor to me. She may be a nurse practitioner but she is my doctor! Lexington medical is very fortunate to have someone so knowledgeable, encouraging, supportive, uplifting, and genuinely loves their job as Dr. Patricia Head does everyday. She’s a positive optimistic woman with such a fine devotion to the field of medicine. I treasure my doctor and would follow wherever she goes. I do not mind if she reads this. She needs to know that her value is immeasurable and she is highly respected! Her nurse [...] is amazing as well. [...] makes a patient feel comfortable I all situations. She’s a natural nurturer . When I think of a word to describe [...] level of care for patients is the three most important TLC - tender, love, and care. She cares to see her patients thrive and is responsive immediately. She checks on her patients regularly by phone and my chart. Over all these two ladies are beyond extrodinary in their professional work at Lexington medical and as human beings fulfilling the divine purpose of their lives. -[...]
