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.

How soon I was seen by intake and when she left said the doctor would be right in. The door no more than closed and in walked the doctor. He listened to what I said and asked a few questions. Several options were discussed and a plan was made

Dr. Thurman is awesome! He managed to work me into his schedule on short notice to address an issue (abnormal EKG) that came up before my upcoming surgery. He was able to ease my mind and address the issue and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Thurman!

Great!!
This was my first visit to the office and I wasn’t sure where to go. A staff member was walking by and offered directions with a big smile. My appointment started on time with no waiting. Dr. Thurman greeted me with a friendly handshake and the appointment was very conversational and unhurried. A staff member escorted me around to a couple different rooms and to the lab and answered all my questions. Everyone was very friendly and professional… I was very satisfied with my entire experience.

Disappointed
Because of recommendations I had high hopes when I switched to Dr. Thurman. But when I brought up a personal medical concern, he more or less dismissed it and did nothing to resolve the issue. In a year and a half, he hasn’t scheduled a general physical exam and hasn’t ordered blood work in well over a year.

Caring Dr.. so kind down to earth.
I just lost a family member suddenly. I had an appointment with him already. I lost it crying. Wrote down by hand a help list to console me about dealing with things you can and can’t control. He would be an awesome psychiatrist as well as family doctor. Wonderful man with a heart of gold.
