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.

Zero stars should be an option
Bobo almost killed someone dear to me. The patient had severe back pain and could barely walk, Bobo diagnosed it as Arthritis and prescribed a months supply of prescription Ibuprofen 800 mg 3 times a day. Took for 25 days and on day 26 woke up so weak could not walk or breathe. Rushed to Bobo who did EKG and heart monitor, expected AFIB so rushed to Dr. Hill. Patient's blood pressure was stroke level, heart rate 180. Patient will have to take several meds from now on because of Bobo's huge mistake of prescribing such a dangerous dosage. Bobo should have never gotten his medical license back and people should be made aware of his true horrible character. Tuscaloosa, do a better job of protecting patients. Dr. William Hill, however is the best and truly cares about and takes excellent care of his patients. Patient never returned to Bobo because he did nothing to treat the arthritis, just made someone who was in excellent health fighting to live. He should be sued and have to pay a lot

Excellent at diagnosing root causes.
A few years ago, I went to Dr. Bobo for treatment for what I thought was a routine matter. He referred me to a urologist. Turned out I had prostate cancer.

Dr. Bobo has practiced medicine in Tuscaloosa for many years. His diagnosis is usually spot on. You would be hard pressed to find a physician with more experience. He does a fantastic job of diagnosing your illment and prescribing the perfect treatment. Emergi-Care is my first choice in clinical care.

If you need a quick, accurate diagnosis of a medical problem, together with comprehensive treatment recommendations, then Dr. Bobo is the physician for you. He is extremely busy (for good reason) so he can appear to be brusque, but his clinical knowledge is first rate and if you like a 'no nonsense' approach you should be very satisfied. Not recommended for those seeking controlled substances or looking to have their behavioral or life issues validated with a spurious medical diagnosis.

The worst doctor I’ve ever seen. The worst bedside manner, has print outs of premade scripts to hand to everyone so he does no evaluation of you at all. Doesn’t care anything about his patients, only wants the money. Did not even introduce himself, of do an examination of me at all. Needless to say I’m still sick and will be going back to another urgent care with no insurance to pay $100 to find out what is actually wrong. This guy is a joke.

I've been to the other Urgent Care facilities and none of the doctors compare to Dr. Bobo's level of expertise (most of them seemed like idiots that wanted to pad the bill). He is a great diagnostician and the only one in town that I trust. Wish he did primary care!
