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.

I am extremely happy I found Dr. Quarles. He is polite, personable, and takes his time to ensure you understand your diagnosis, medications, and next steps. This was very important to me, as most doctors rush your appointment- leaving you frustrated and confused. He isn't like that at all. His office (including his staff) is warm and hospitable - whether you are on the phone or physically at the office. For example, right before my first appointment, I witnessed Dr. Quarles coming out to say "hello" to his staff and the patients in the waiting area. Additionally, Dr. Quarles and his staff are prompt and proactive. If I need to call in for something, I always receive a call back the same day - with my questions answered. They even took the liberty of scheduling my referral appointments, which took a lot of pressure off of me to find and schedule specialty doctors for my condition.

Tells it like it is but is thoughtful about how he words it so as not to hurt your feelings. This is a change from 10 years ago. He got better at motivating a positive change. I have been his patient for most of my adult life. He took over for Fred Melhorn and became my family physician.

Dr. Quarles is actively engaged in working with his patients to help them focus on areas of their life that will improve overall wellness. He does not make you simply feel like one of countless patients walking through his door. I look forward to partnering with him for many years in helping me achieve my health goals.

When I called to talk to Dr. Quarles about how his staff was making fun of me & taking turns answering his phone, to keep me from seeing him this day and other days because of them not being educated enough to work in a medical office, because they are mean girls working up front, they continued to bully me about Spinal Cord surgery.....They questioned me like I was a little girl making this all up. I have a 6" incision that he thought I was coming to see him for attention for 10 years for..

This was my first visit to a doctor of osteopathy. Had back problems, with pain all the way down to my foot. During this visit my problem was confirmed by xray, and he treated me the same day with a shot in my back (did not hurt much, just felt like a regular shot.) Have had great pain relief!! Nice doctor who was thorough and kind. Nice office staff. Highly recommend. Thank you
