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.

Dr. Seacrest is very attentive, caring and insightful. I felt that she truly cared about my situation and helped me to come up with a plan for better health and stamina.

Dr Secrest is wonderful. I’ve never met a doctor with a bigger heart and knowledge of medicine. She will never let you go without finding the source of your medical problem. If you should need a specialist, she makes sure that happens. I’m so blessed to have found her. Schneck has one of the best in Dr. Secrest.

Excellent Provider
This doctor is the greatest primary care provider we have been graced to have. This doctor was mine and my late wife’s provider, and without a doubt her care was solely responsible for extending my wife’s life and minimizing her suffering. If you have Dr Deisha as your provide, consider yourself blessed. She’s honest, caring, compassionate, smart, and extremely skilled.

I’ve always had issues with being comfortable with Dr’s. I was recommended to Dr. Seacrest from my aunt. She single handedly made me regain my trust in doctors. She was Straightforward, direct, knowledgeable and so helpful in every single issue and/or problem I was experiencing. Furthermore, when I experienced the most difficult point in my life, she went above and beyond to make sure that I was OK and that I would be safe. This is something I will never forget. You don’t meet doctors like Dr. Secrest. And when you do you hold onto them. I am so grateful that I found such a wonderful doctor. Her hard work her compassion and her follow-through has never gone Unnoticed or unappreciated

DR. DESHA SECREST IS TERRIBLE! I am an established patient of this practice and wish I had listened to the other negative reviews which seem true. I was sick on a Saturday and called the on call line because urgent care was closed. She didn’t even bother listening to my concerns, was rude and was very clear that I was interrupting her and she would not help me. I had major surgery a month ago, so you would think she would be a little more concerned about making sure I didn’t have an infection but we didn’t even get to that part because she was so rushed, rude and dismissive. I would not recommend Dr. Desha Secrest. I used my insurance’s virtual visit feature and they listened to my concerns and proscribed a medication. Much easier and joke is on Dr. Secrest because she is losing her practice money and patients.

I've had many doctors in my lifetime. This young lady is "Top shelf"! Learned, attentive, engaging, proactive, thorough, compassionate, wise. If you are fortunate enough to have a provider such as her or her as your provider count your blessings.

Dr. Secrest is one of the best doctors I have ever gone to. She is attentive and thorough. She actually listens to what you tell her and does not try to prescribe a pill and push you out of the office. She schedules necessary test and helps you to decide the best course of action. When you return to her she will check to make sure you are responding well to the prescribed treatment. She is the best!

Takes time listen to what's wrong, rather than assume what's wrong. I have doctors at Emory and I like her better than some of them! I've recommended Dr. Secrest to a LOT of my friends and family! And will continue to do so!

Dr. Secrest was amazing. I usually leave a doctors office disgruntled after any visit. Not with her. She was very friendly and caring. For once a doctor that treats me like an educated adult instead of a toddler who knows nothing.

Received a steroid shot for a cough. It didn't help. Then was charged almost 200.00 for the visit after insurance. I do not feel I got my money's worth, but what can you do? Just bend over and take it. The shot that is.
