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.

Great Doc
Dr. Paulk and his staff are always available and caring about my family’s health. We have been patients for a long time.

Doctor and staff are very nice. However, they constantly have Fox News on in the waiting room. Even after the riots. I find this disturbing. I've heard several customers complain to the receptionist. The receptionist says it's Dr. Paulk's decision. In todays polarized political environment I can't see any upside to having any cable news show on in the waiting room.

I thinks he is the same Dr. that had a practice in Monroe Georgia some years ago. He was my favorite doctor ever. He left to be closer to home.

I switched to Dr Paulk from another PCP and have been very satisfied. Both he and his staff are very knowledgeable, competent and personable. In addition, examinations are thorough and their follow up is outstanding. My wife is also considering changing to Dr. Paulk. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Listens and seems to really care. He works with you on medical decisions without just trying to throw a pill down your throat to "fix" things and move on to the next patient. Staff is amazing too.

I have never found another docotor like him. While it is true that he and his staff are genuinenly caring, my favorite thing about Dr. Paulk is his approach to medicine. He approaches every diagnosis as its own unique puzzle to be solved, rather than jumping to conclusions. He LISTENS! He speaks in likelihoods and not absolutes. For Example: "It is more than likely X, but it could be Y and Z is very unlikely" He involves you in the decision making about treatment throughout the process.

Dr. Paulk unfortunately has a terrible beside manner. If you don't agree to get his physical which is over 300.00 then he will not see you as a patient. We had a terrible experience after we told him we didn't want to have the physical and pay out of pocket what he was charging. Once we voiced concern he was down right rude. Oh and another thing you won't see him just his internist Lindsey. This is something to keep in mind if you are looking at different doctors.

Dr. Paulk is a great doctor. He is thorough and makes time for his patients to answer all their questions. He's got a great bedside manner - funny and personable, and I feel like I can talk to him like a regular person. He is not condescending or arrogant as some doctors can be.

I have always had a good experience at Dr Paulks office . He has great people on his team and it shows. They listen , they respond and you really get the feeling that they care about your well being. Dr. Paulk actually called me about test results on a weekend because he knew that I was anxious about the results. Unheard of in this day and age. There isn't a day that goes by I don't thank God for this incredible doctor and his amazing staff.
