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.

He is an excellent doctor! BUT the staff keeps changing which I don’t like. Sometimes you end up with a very responsible person and your issue is taken care of. Sometimes you need to follow up with your issue to make sure it is taken care of. An example is forwarding your lab request to the right lab on time. I guess it is difficult to find responsible, self motivated individuals! But Dr. Pirkle is still the best doctor

Dr. Pirkle is one of the best doctors you could possibly have. I feel very fortunate to have been a patient of his for 3 years. He was thorough, extremely knowledgeable, asks questions, listens, and always helped us immensely. I give him our highest possible recommendation.

Dr. Pirkle is extremely skilled at what he does. However, he has mood issues at times. As a woman, I can understand that sometimes we have a bad day or are moody. But, as a professional, this is not tolerable. Sad, but true. He needs to work on this (his bedside manner) and then I can give him 4 stars. Sorry, doc...someone has to tell you!
