Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant and did not like to be questioned, resulting in my health failing until I got a second opinion.

Rude, Egocentric, Doesn't like to be questioned
My son was referred to Dr Woodall while an inpatient with a severe illness. Woodall was threatened by questions. got irate if we didn't accept his authority and act happy that we got to see him. He refused to explore explanations for the diagnosis and acted as though we were ignorant for pushing for more tests. Plus, neither he nor his NP was respected or liked by hospital staff because of their egotistically superior demeanors. We went for several appts in clinic for checkups after my son's release from the hospital and Woodall was not present for any of them. We were forced to only see his NP. My son sought a second opinion in KC and was seen by 14 doctors in one day who completely refuted Woodall's quickly assumed diagnosis. Simple tests (that we had pushed for in clinic) revealed the explanation for the illness. He failed to address many issues that the doctors in KC solved. Woodall self-proclaimed that he was the best, but I will encourage his patients to seek a second opinion.

Dr Woodall removed my gallbladder and took excellent care of me the entire time. He actually sat down and took the time to go over any and all concerns I had. His follow up care was most impressive. I recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Woodall put together an excellent team in planning and executing my melanoma surgery. He is positive and optimistic. The surgery was truly easy for me and I am very pleased with the results. I am looking forward to my 6 month follow-up to show him the great results that he and Dr.s Fenwick, Hawes and Naugle achieved.
