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.

Amazing primary care physician
Wonderful physican. I have known Dr. Overton-Kerry for years and she has been our primary care provider. My husband and I both see her she takes the time to get to know you and we more or less consider hair like family along with her nurse. Corey Dr. Overton-Kerry is a very kind, compassionate and caring physician. She never rushes her appointments. She is always there to answer questions and provide medical assistance in any situation or any condition that you might have. I can’t imagine not having her as our primary care physician we have no idea who we would use as a doctor in her place.

Dr Overton Keary is the best doctor I've ever had. I'm 75 and have been seeing her for nearly 18 years. I've never been rushed, always have had excellent care and advice, and have been able to see her quickly when necessary. I recommend her very highly.

A great internist gives thorough, thoughtful care.
I have been a patient of Dr. Patricia Overton-Keary for 14 years. She is pleasant, takes time to listen to my concerns. She answers my questions thoughtfully & has provided excellent care for me for all of that time. I trust her judgement & have appreciated receiving care from such an excellent internist. I also appreciate the very helpful & pleasant office staff.

I’ve known Patricia Overton Keary since I was 12. She’s a tremendous person. Her character is honest and devoted and her intellectual abilities are stellar. She’s been my doctor for years and always will be. She’s very responsive anytime a patient has a need. Her nurses are trained and have been with her for years, which attests further to her quality. Her father was a renowned doctor, her mother was a nurse and a good share of her siblings are in the medical field from doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. She’s outstanding on all measures and I rate her a 10!

Although i really like Patricia I have no choice but to find another doctor. She had told me that anytime I call the office and can't get in, when really needed, that I should remember the name of the receptionist so she can take care of it. I have called twice for ear infections in the past month and never able to be seen...and then last night was taken to the hospital via an ambulance and the I want to see her tomorrow...no openings. Time to move on.

I had the worst exoerience ever with a doctor. I went to her because of several on going issues. Our 1st 2 meetings were fine. 3rd meeting I could clearly hear her & s nurse discussing me very negatively. I had come to her to review treatment plan by other doctors & get her expert opinon. Not only did she insult me multiple times she spoke down to me because my financial status changed after breaking my back & losing my job. Despite being insured I was concerned about expensive tests.

I have enjoyed Dr. Pat's medical advice and care along her great sense of humor and professionalism for over over 20 years. Compared to the other many healthcare professions I have dealt with for my nearly 60 years no one even comes close. A genuinely great person.

I've been a patient of Dr. Overton-Keary's for many years. She's the most competent, thorough and patient physician I've ever seen. Following a car accident that nearly took my life years ago, every related health issue has been fully & competently addressed. She's definitely worth the minutes it takes to see her following my arrival at the clinic.
