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.

Excellent Family Physician
Dr. Adkisson has been my family doctor for several years now. I find him to be an extremely caring and thorough physician. He gives excellent diagnosis, explains issues thoroughly, and has always gotten excellent results.

Don't go here unless you want frustration every mo
The office staff are terrible! They are rude and hateful and they do not do their job! Every month my daughter tries to get her prescriptions for her mental health and can't seem to get them until she is 2-3 days late most times! We're talking about someone who needs this medication everyday and cannot call it in early and cannot get it on time!! I am so furious I wish I could go down there myself!!! This has been going on for a long time. I'm trying to talk her into changing doctors. To someone who cares. Because these people don't! She says the Dr's good but what good is he if his office staff do not follow orders he does not follow up? And yes she has told him but NOTHING has changed!!

I'm a new patient. Dr. Sent me to lab Corp for a full panel. It's been 3 weeks. I've called for results, feedback, do i need a follow up? I left 2 messages....crickets. I sure hope nothing is wrong. Zero stars for professionalism.

Nearly every month I receive the runaround about getting my prescription refilled. Sometimes they manage to get my refill called in the same day but, oftentimes i am made to wait 2-3 days, without my prescribed medication, before they are “able” to call into my pharmacy. Theres always an excuse, if i am able to reach anyone at all. Phone lines are often closed even during the times they say they should be open. If the lines are open, often times it rings and rings and no one answers. It just sends me back to the prompts. Today, Donna, the receptionist, threw a temper tantrum about me trying to get the medication this doctor has prescribed me for emotional instability. How do you think that reaction, lack of response and responsibility, not to mention the absence of my medication, affects my mental instability? Not well. Not well at all. I shouldn’t have to battle, monthly to obtain prescribed medication to keep me from losing my mind. This “doctors office” is a bad joke.

I’ve been a patient for years and never had a problem until I developed serious symptoms. I had lab work done a month ago and symptoms have been getting worse. I’ve called multiple times and left numerous messages. I spoke to staff and was assured that they would speak with Dr. Adkisson to NO AVAIL. Don’t go to this doctors office if you need answers about a serious problem because it will not be addressed or followed up on at all. Bread and butter issues only.

Visit with Dr. was great as always, but there are a couple of things I wonder if the Dr. is aware of or just chooses to ignore. First, the receptionist is absolutely rude on the phone. In person, she is fine. My family loves her. On the phone, she acts like she is answering calls for a major hospital - just so quick and uncaring. Secondly, I never get a return call after I go get blood work or other services, so I never know the results. I don't know if that is my responsibility or theirs.

I've been a patient of Dr. Adkisson for many years and have followed him from several location moves to his present day in Broken Arrow. I feel he has a genuine concern about his patients and their health. He has always treated me with understanding and great knowledge when explaining treatment plans to me. I would and do recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor in the local area.
