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.

We wouldn't want another doctor. Dr. Dubose is knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to a persons needs.

Wonderful and caring physician
Dr. Debose was my mother-in-law's doctor, and he significantly improved her health when she relocated to South Carolina. I have been with the doctor for one year and he was able to refer me to the Mayo Clinic in no time. He is considerate and listens to his patients.

Great doctor!
The staff are friendly, short wait times, and Dr. Dubose is a great doctor. His concierge care has been such a good experience. Someone is always ready to help with any urgent care needs. Dr, Dubose listens, is not rushed, and he is just a kind human being.

I’m very busy, travel with work, and although I’m healthy most of the time I struggled to get what I needed from my long time family doctor. Dr. Dubose, his team, and the concierge practice is exactly what I needed! Love all of them.

Dr, DuBose is an excellent physician. He listens to me, explores avenues of treatment with me, and follows up to determine that the diagnosis and treatment have been effective. Because I have some unusual health challenges, he has been diligent about research and referrals to insure my welfare. He is everything I could ask for in a doctor: knowledgeable, compassionate, and accessible.

I became acquainted with Dr Dubose while I was a nurse on a unit that he visited quite often. All of his patients loved him. He is the most compassionate doctor I ever worked with. Now as his patient, I find it very easy to discuss my concerns with him knowing he will be attentive and will evaluate them very competently. He takes the time to make sure I understand his evaluation and treatment plan, answers any questions I might have. I leave his office confident that I am in good hands. His office staff is welcoming and efficient. They set the tone for a positive experience on my visits. The nurses and CMAs that work with him are outstanding and caring professionals. Office visits begin within 10 minutes of the scheduled appointment time unless Dr Dubose has to attend to an emergency or urgent patient problem. Dr Dubose is a wonderful, caring physician. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
