Dr Word has been my physician for many years. I respect his opinion and advice. He spends appropriate time and includes me in the conversation. I feel valued as a patient.
Dr. Moore-Bowens is the best internist I’ve ever been to. She gives me time to express my concerns and then, she tells me how to handle those concerns and she is on target every time. If my body doesn’t tolerate a prescribed medication, she has another option for me. She shows concern for me and is always caring. I am 75 years old and I hope she will be my primary doctor as long as I am alive!
Dr Word always arr so professional and helpful. My calls are answered in a timely manner and they show concern and desire to help. Very important to everyone. They are the BEST!
Excellent attention and knowledge of my various issues. After 16 years Dr has maintained high level if interest and has provided me with outstanding specialist which are still following me and continue to work closely to maintain a level of keeping all parties aware of continuing issues
This was my first visit with this medical practice and doctor. Previous experiences with my last health care provider have left me feeling left behind. But the people at the Columbia Medical Group have brought back my belief that people do still care. They were all professional, courteous and always had my well being as their priority. This is a great place for me and everyone from the receptionist to the doctor are just what I have been missing in my health care. I will not hesitate to tell anyone who ask how much I like my experience there.
Dr. Moore-Bowens is an outstanding doctor. She is very knowledgeable and caring. She sees you as a person first and as a patient second. I have the utmost respect and confidence in her ability to provide excellent care for me.
I have been with Dr. Crook since he joined CMG and [...], an hour+ drive away but still make the commute because of his excellent care. Both my husband and I.
Dr. Word is the absolute best Doctor I’ve ever had. His attention to detail and care he gives goes beyond what I’ve ever experienced with other primary care physicians. He listens to me and takes the time to check into every concern I have.
Dr. Crooks is very personable, patient and considers where you are in recommending treatment for present conditions and recommendations looking forward concerning age, condition and consideration for further proactive measures. Great Doctor!
Dr. Mayer and the Cola Med Group are terrific. The staff is always pleasant and professional and Dr Mayer is the ideal of what a physician should be. He has been my physician for over 30 years and I continued to use him after [...]. I have always been treated courteously and professionally. I thoroughly trust Dr. Mayer for all of my health concerns.
I'm thrilled to find such a caring person! Dr. Gressette even passed on info about where to get Zepbound for a lot less because she knew my insurance wasn't covering it & the high price was affecting my decision to continue. She's very knowledgeable and thorough.
Dr. Gressette is definitely the model of how to care for patients. I’ve been to countless doctors throughout my life and this lady has left an impression. I recommend her to everyone. So glad I was able to become a patient.
Dr. Crook & his staff are very helpful & competent. Response to questions in My Chart are very fast, and helpful, especially his nurse. Fortunately, I'm a long time patient of Dr. Crook's.
I just love Dr Crook and the care he’s always provided for me!! I hope he never leaves the practice!! I’m getting so much older and I want him to take care of my health needs until I’m gone on to heaven. I’m serious!! I hate changing doctors!! His nurse is a dream and so efficient!!
Dr. Moore-Bowens is an excellent physician. Her care during my most recent visit was superb. She listened to my concerns and made recommendations that are already making a positive difference. She is truly a blessing.
Dr Mayer was my mother's doctor for over 20 years and my doctor for the last 15 years. Dr Mayer is very professional, courteous, and intelligent. I have always been treated with the utmost respect at his office and by his staff. I trust his judgment wholeheartedly as did my mother.
Dr Moore took the time to address all my concerns and laid out a plan going forward that has never given me a feeling of hope!! I look forward to working with him in the near future!!!
In all my doctor visits, I have never received such great care. Dr. Moore was very attentive and knowledgeable about my health. He shared information with me that was reflective in my bloodwork over the last ten plus years that no other doctor took the time to share with me. Great addition to the staff.
I have been seeing Dr. Phan for many years. Her and her staff are always friendly and professional. They always answer my questions and make sure I understand my care plan. I would definitely recommend her.
I can tell from just my first appointment that Dr. Christian Moore really cares about people and loves his job. He is very well educated but beyond that he has common sense which I think is very important in his profession. Every question I had was fully answered and I was pleasantly surprised that I got bloodwork done in the same day of my first appointment. Very very satisfied with my care!
Dr. Mayer is so caring and thoughtful! He always makes me feel like family and not a patient. He always answers any questions or concerns I have! Dr. Mayer is the best!
Dr. Crook is compassionate, thorough, and takes the time to listen. His skillset of empathy is just as strong as his knowledge of medicine. I always feel in safe hands!
Dr Moore Bowens is wonderful. I have been going to her for 20+years. The staff at Columbia Medical Group are wonderful as well. The are always polite and helpful.
I am very happy with my decision to transition my care from my previous provider to Dr. Moore. He is very thorough and shows genuine concern and has a depth of knowledge that I feel will aid in my treatment.
Dr Crook has always spent time with me evaluating my heath concerns. He discusses any further testing he may want to do and respects any input I may have. I have the utmost confidence in him.
Dr. Mayer and nurse have always provided the most thorough and professional care. I have always felt comfortable discussing any issues and am confident of all recommendations.
My provider cared enough to call the morning after my visit to give results of c-rays they had taken. I don’t remember that ever happening before.
I will recommend this practice to everyone who needs a doctor.
Dr. Gressett always takes care Medically with of all my needs. She is always takes her time to explain everything per visit , I feel very comfortable each time I go for an appointment! The staff also treats you with upmost care!
Dr. Schwab and his care team were very thorough and showed great concern in trying to figure out what needed to be done for me. I love my new car team.
I already had recommended Dr. Schwab to my family and friends. His medical skills are excellent. He listens and allows me to participate actively in my treatment. He explains every procedure, new medication and answers my questions and concerns. He makes the appropriate referrals and follows up on their completion.
Dr Moore seemed very different from other doctors as he wanted to explain and identify your specific health problems/situations rather than just treat your symptims. He was extremely insistent of my understanding of my health condition with a different perspective than I’ve had before.
I’m looking forward to see how I progress. I had already made some life style changes and Dr Moore seemed to fit into them nicely.
Everyone in the office has always been polite. Love Dr. Schwab. He listens to my concerns and explains things so that I can understand. Thank you to EVERYONE there. Love the office.
I have been going to Dr. Deschamps for a long time. I know I can talk to him about any health issues and problems I have. Very attentive and very helpful. I know if I have any issues in between my scheduled appointments I can get in to see him. His staff is very nice and courteous. I would highly recommend this practice.
Dr. Deschamps does a great job talking through and helping with health issues. He takes great care to explain everything and makes sure all issues or concerns are taken care of. Would highly recommend him!
I’ve been with Dr. Dechamps for about 30 years and he had saved my life at least once due to deep vein thrombosis and medical treatments during my many diseases and situations. He is a caring physician.
