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.

Does not care what you think.
Thinks he is right no matter what you do. Sometimes the patient does know what they need. Not with him.

We will follow him anywhere!
We have seen this doctor almost 9 plus yrs and have never had an issue with him. He is very attentive and caring about his patients. He has saved my partners life now twice. Due to his allergies. So if you see bad reviews go and find out for yourself and see it all for yourself. Kind of funny he has appts 3 months out at times because he is the most wanted to see him. Go and find out for yourself how he rates..

The people who gave him a negative review are telling the truth. He prescribed some medicine for me to take and it made my blood pressure go up. I never had problems with my blood pressure before. When I tried telling him I didn't feel well he acted like he didn't believe me. His nurse didn't even report to him how high my blood pressure was and it seemed like they didn't communicate well. He ordered some test for me that were never scheduled. The bill was excessively high. I made up my mind to pay him and never return. When I went there to make my payments the waiting room would be empty but all these signs were up telling people to pay there bill. I personally think he has a personality disorder. What is troubling is that he is now teaching students. He seems to be the type of person to pass or fail a student based on their looks instead of their hard work and qualifications.

Best initial assessment I've ever had. Thorough, knowledgeable, and informative beyond anything I'd previously experienced. Dr. Hovey was also the perfect balance of professional and friendly, putting this usually reluctant patient at ease.

Hovey is not a good doctor. Seems to do things for spite when patients have an issue taking the meds he prescribes. Prescribed an elderly family member of mine a drug to which she is badly allergic. It said so on her chart. When we called to have them call in something else, he refused. He made her travel all the way back to his office to get a prescription and prescribed a name brand $600 medicine. The pharmacist said that Hovey had indicated "no generics" on the script. This seemed very spiteful to those of us trying to care for our loved one in her late 70s. We changed to a better doctor. He tracked me down and called me after I left a similar review on Google. He said it was to apologize. It didn't sound that way to me.

Patients Beware – Feb 14, 2020

Dr. Hovey doesn't give a damn about his patients. Stay away from this man who literally turned me away in a life or death situation. Find a Dr. who cares. This one doesn't

Dr. Hovey is one of the best physician's I have used over the past 60 years. He has solid medical knowledge and stays up-to-date with new and evolving medical modalities. Not only does he have an office practice but he follows his own patients if hospitalized. The practice utilizes a patient portal which I like as I have ready access to my labs and other diagnostic test. I no long have to play "she said, he said" as I can email Dr. directly. I get great care as well.

After seeing Dr. Hovey after a recent illness and hospitalization, he found a wonderful balance among compassion, concern and straightforwardness in my treatment plan. He was very thorough during the exam and asked many questions to ensure he considered my conditions from all angles. He explained things very clearly and was clear what I needed to do moving forward from that appointment in order to stay on track.
