20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Birmingham, AL (2022 Updated)

The best University in Alabama by far! Quality education in every area of the University. Great people and great events. If you are an alum and you are not participating in homecoming, shame on you. I've taken my kids to HC the last 2 years and they love it. You have to hit at least 1 football game a year with your kids, and bring your cardboard! If you don't know what I'm talking about, just trust me. It's a must! Go Dawgs!!!David Lovering

Samford is such a wonderful place to come and visit for admissions. The staff is extremely friendly, gregarious, and professional. The campus is extraordinary with unparalleled class sizes and unique degree opportunities. It was such an amazing tour and information session even with the difficulties of the pandemic. Definitely don't overlook Samford. You won't regret it!Sam Martin

One of the officers on campus was very polite, informative and helpful when I came to visit. The layout and grounds looked well taken care of. The signs on campus where easy to read and navigate around. I will recommend anyone to come experience Samford for them selves. Thanks Thomas!😊Hollie Davison

The staff never answers phones. I've been calling for weeks and can't never get in touch!!! Now school starts Aug. 22 and I think I'm to late for sign ups! I called again today and called every option just to speak to SOMEBODY there but, once again no answer. I heard great things about Wallace and that's why I choose to go there but, they are probably the worst in communication skills!!!! my name is charity enfinger and I would really like to be in the nail tech program but, due to poor communication skills from ALL the staff I've missed my opportunity to get a better career for my two baby girls. One is 7 months and the other is 2. I wish I could get in if only they'd answer the phone!!! 🙁Justin Walker

I am a current employee who graduated from Wallace Community College. As a student it was the best move for me to make immediately following high school as I was not socially ready to attend a major university. At Wallace Community College I learned how to study for collegiate level classes and manage my time in such a way that differed from high school. All of the courses I took transferred seamlessly to Auburn University which saved me money. Now as an employee I see all that goes on behind the scenes. I love my job and see all the time an effort faculty and staff put forth to make the learning environment and this college experience the best it can be.Brandy Dowdey

They need to offer more degrees like RV repair, Cooking school, Fashion Design, Sewing, Interior Design, Private investigation, Restaurant management, etc. They keep turning out the same degrees that over saturates the work force and brings down the pay so bad that a high percentage of graduates go into something else or use their degree as a side hustle. I don’t think it’s fair to Dothan’s growth to force students to leave town to get top paying degreesSummer Knight

Got my B.S. here, and am finished with my coursework for my MBA, just waiting for grades to be posted. Saw some of the negative reviews…thought I'd chime in. Excellent School, especially for a Veteran like me. Well organized, and if you need support, ask for it, it will be there. Accreditation is not an issue. If they weren't accredited, they couldn't take the GI bill. I found a job with a Fortune 10 company, and they accepted my degree just like any other. Whoever said that in the review down there is wrong. Very well organized class structures, easy to navigate interface, and hell, they even send you the books for the class you register for- automatically and at no additional cost. Not once did they fail to do that. Professors normally have a PHD or other terminal degree. Took a lot of classes, only had issues with one of them, and she's gone. Some were absolutely awesome. That said, it's adult learning. Not everyone gets an A on everything. Do the work, get the grade you earned based on the syllabus and rubric for that assignment…it's not complicated. I apply the things I learned in my classes to my work as a project manager. The direct relevance of the curriculum to today's business environment is outstanding. IF you are looking for a great online school, especially as a Veteran, this is the place.Bo Scott

ZERO STARS. Fun story…I hurried to get my credentials in, my post 9/11 GI Bill eligibility letter, etc to be enrolled, for less than a week. To my extreme dismay, as I had asked the appropriate advisor multiple times, my VA benefits were NOT fully given to me. The school will tell you that taking their 2 class maximum is considered “full time” status for you veterans out there, don’t let them fool you. You deserve every penny for your time served. To add to that, 1 of the 3 assignments I turned in before kicking this place to the curb, was graded on a persona level…meaning, I responded to what the assignment(discussion board) asked, yet because apparently my professor didn’t like my answer on a personal level, I was given less than a 100. It was a personal belief question and asking other students what made them join the class…who does that? How do you get an 87% on a pass/fail discussion board? Don’t let me review sway you. Do your own research and enroll if you like. If you are a veteran, continue your search elsewhere brothers and sisters. They just want you for the VA payments.Brandon Morton

Enjoyed the coursework – currently working on my MBA – until I reached the Business Ethics course. I am a college instructor and have several other degrees and went from making an A on every single assignment throughout the entire program to barely passing the Business Ethics course due to the instructor. He grades on pieces he doesn't ask for in the rubric and even has the gall to announce to the class that "we should not take offense to his grading". I fully agree with many of my classmates and several other people that have commented here that it's not the best option when choosing schools. There's a reason they schedule you to have this course at the very end when graduation is approaching – if you had this instructor first – no one would continue spending the money to attend the school.Amber Wolf

It was with the greatest respect for Dr.Jeffery Davis and his staff at Andrews clinic for all their effort and care they bestowed on me. I have had these knee problems for over 40 years due to an injury in the 70s. After Dr.Davis and his excellent work, first on my right knee and then my left, I have no more pain. I am most grateful for his careful work and diligence in insuring that I get the greatest care. Thank you Dr.Davis. -From Ali Sleiman and my familyAli Sleiman

I just saw Dr. Jeffery Davis for my 10-year post double knee replacement check-up! Everything is still “good as new!” I have hiked 1000 miles in Yellowstone and unlimited miles in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida since both knees were replaced. All of those miles were pain free. I give God and his faithful surgeon, Dr. Davis, all the credit. I can’t say enough good things about Andrews Sports Medicine and Dr. Davis. He is like family and cares for every patient like they are family.Phyllis Mayfield

I had surgery there three years ago. Minor Meniscus Tear . Elective surgery. They allowed me to leave to soon. I fell due to being over medicated and have never recovered. I wish I had never dealt with ANDREWS. The heard you like cattle. They also tried to tell me that I needed a full knee replacement after I fell. Upon getting a second opinion I was told that I was at least 10 years away from needing that knee replacement. It appeared that Andrews was just trying to cover its mistakes.T Tims

This is the worst school that I've attended. During the first quarter in nursing school, I had a teacher that didn't teach us anything! The whole class thought that she just didn't care because at the end of the school quarter, she left. There were only two great instructors in the whole nursing program and they left. The staff members in the office always said that we were welcomed to come talk to them about anything but we (my cohort) didn't know who to trust. After exams, our grades would get out to other cohorts by an instructor that wasn't even teaching the class. I had a situation that I couldn't help and I was told that I couldn't attend clinical for that day and to write a 10 page paper while several of the others got away with it. When I had a meeting about it, the program director went off subject and started looking at my past grades and said that he was doing that to everyone. That was a lie. He came off very prejudiced to me. I saw another review saying and that he talked down on students and I agree 100%. He's racist. I was told by an instructor to my face that the people in the office were trying to get people like me ("Black") out of the program and I believed her. I also had another problem on an exam about which race of people were more likely to get sickle cell. The instructor said with me being "black", I should have gotten that question correct. It was very offensive. Racist! The staff is very unprofessional and nothing is kept confidential. Teachers were changing answers on exams and they chose who they wanted to let through in the program. Policy requires students to get full clinical hours in order to graduate. False! People graduated without full clinical hours. People even got by with being late to several clinicals. The dean of the school isn't any help. The staff sticks together. They don't care about the students. They only care about the money and sticking together. Tuition is very expensive so I wouldn't waste my time or money. Trust the reviews that you read because I wished I would have. I would have never attended this school. Like I said, they pick and choose who they let through. Everyone is not treated equally. People don't know the half of everything you have to deal with in the nursing program. They (staff) always get defensive when you speak up and try to tell them how you feel about certain things in the program. If you do decide to go to this school, RECORD meetings and everything for proof. It's sad to say that you have to do that, but just giving you all a warning. If there is a problem that needs to be resolved, speak up as a CLASS. Don't leave anyone hanging. People were scared to speak on things because they knew how the staff was and thought that they would do something sneaky. I wrote this review because several people have asked me about this school, so here you go.Keisha Johnson

For the love of God, don't come here for nursing. If I wasn't in too deep in this school I would have left already. Tuition increased to $7900 and the sim dolls in the nursing lab haven't been working for a while now, we don't even have the required materials in the lab to properly practice check offs which is why I feel so nervous practicing skills in clinicals. I feel like I don't know anything. For all the money that we are paying it is definetly not worth it. I am so worried that I won't be a proficient nurse when I graduate. I don't feel like I am being taught enough. Like I said, I'm way in too deep to leave at this point. Don't let them fool you, nothing works in the lab. They'll tell you that they're working on getting them fixed but they haven't been working for at least 3 quarters.Aaa Fitz

There is a high turnover rate with the staff so it seems as if the academic advisors and teachers are always changing. Furthermore, financial aide staff is not helpful. They are not knowledgeable about any topics. The supervisor is rude and only has one person working under her who doesn't know much. The classes are good though and aren't too big which allows for more one on one instruction. If they had better staff working in Financial aide then I would give them 4 stars.Ashlee Billups

I walked into the clinic not really knowing if my back would get better. The two pregnancies and done a number on me. Jordan was amazingly welcoming and encouraging, and both therapists (Josh was out of the country for a minute) I had the pleasure of working with were very attentive and helpful. They were able to help me get back into exercise and running in no time. It really jump started my fitness, and I still use many of the exercises they taught me. It was always a pleasure to go in. The atmosphere was always very inclusive and fun. I never dreaded having to go. I truly miss them. Highly recommend these guys!! You won't be disappointed!Emily Duley

I would like to thank Josh and his team, Jordan, Vanessa, Aubry, Molly, and Noel for the great service I received rehabbing my shoulder. This group is very professional. They are all about your healing and recovery. The environment is very inclusive and respectful to all patients. Such a family like atmosphere. If you follow the program that they set up for your recovery, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, the team at Benchmark for your, expertise, unwavering support through the rehab process. The service I received was second to none!!!!paul ford

This place is AMAZING! They truly care about my recovery. They are all very kind and careing! It is just like cheers they all know your name but mostley they are TRULY PROFESSIONAL in all they do. First class treatment and my doctor is THRILLED with my range of motion and recovery. G-d was the chief reason I am healed but G-d used my doctor and BENCHMARK to make it all come about! If I had to have any other PT they are who I will call!!!Cathy Baty

First visit for my shoulder. The lobby to the office is excellent,.. love the home type chairs. The front office staff are really friendly and quick. The staff including a Physicisns Assistant quickly got my info. Went straight to xray so they could see what was going on. Dr. Cusmariu came in see me. He is extremely friendly Doctor. He explained what was wrong with my shoulder and outlined treatment. He answered all my questions, and I had a few. I left with the feeling that the entire staff care about me and others, and that I could not have picked a better place.Jerome Rambin

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bowman. Not only is he a gifted surgeon, he is also compassionate, empathetic, kind , and a good listener. He has the ability to put a patient at ease in the face of a difficult situation. His calm demeanor , direct eye contact and simplified, but thorough explanation allowed me to entrust him with my revision surgery without hesitation. He talks to you , not at you. He never seemed to be in a rush and welcomed all questions. He is a Godsend and I will be ever grateful for him restoring my mobility. Thank-you Dr. Bowman!Kim LaMaster

Everything about this visit was excellent! The waiting area was clean and spacious; the receptionist was pleasant and efficient. Dr Worthen was not only knowledgeable and helpful, he was also very caring and compassionate. The X-ray technician, Stevie, was very kind and helpful ( I’m in a wheelchair). Dr Worthen’s PA, Lauren, who gave me shots in my shoulders, was very skilled, knowledgeable and kind. I could not have asked for a better experience! Liz

The Urology Centers of Alabama facility at the Pilot Bldg. are very nice. Checking in is easy on the provided equipment. You can do it manually or get help with the equipment until you get the hang of it. Good parking, friendly staff, just a pleasant place for you visits. Not surprised. The group was excellent when it was in the hospital & the Homewood facility where radiation treatments are done is really fine too. All staff, all Doctors I've seen are great. My Urologist is Taylor Bragg & he's just great. I've gone to him for years & am happy & sad at his coming retirement. He will be missed. It's a great group, I'm confident my care will continue to be as always there. Thank you, Urology Centers of Alabama. Dr. Taylor Bragg & the rest, saved my life! God Bless them all.Tommy Stuart

She took the time to explain the procedures and possibilities of what could be wrong. She made me feel at ease about the upcoming procedures and she listened to all of my concerns! Most importantly she was respectful and did it with a smile, you can most definitely tell she loves what she does and says a lot about a Doctor!LaKidia Nelson

Jenna Risley was outstanding in my visit to their office. She listened to all of my symptoms and made a recommendation. Then when she received more information, decided on a different course of treatment, which turned out to be the correct one. She actually listened to my concerns and addressed them.When life Talks

It had been four years since my last visit to this facility and back then I was very pleased with the care I received there. Four years later I'm still pleased with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Dr Cusmariu was thorough in his exam and made me aware that I had exhausted all my options to help the pain I've been having in my hip. I've decided to have hip replacement and know that I will be in the hands of a very good surgeon.Jack Owens

Dr Cusmairu, Karen, X-ray Tech, front desk check-in and check-out showed very professional care. Answered all questions so that I could understand them easily. Was able to start with treatment immediately. All employees were very kind and helpful. Andy was also on the spot getting me set up for therapy. Would definitely recommendKaren Glover

I did not care for his bedside manner. It took almost an hour and a half to see him once, I was in a room. He did explain much after my knee x-ray. I got more information from my primary care doctors x-ray than his. His Physician' Assistant Zack was great. I got most of my info from him. I was not impressed with him at all.Wendy Harris

Herzing university is a nonprofit college and this is not the route to go. State and Community college are the best route to go very affordable. This school is not ACEN ACCREDITED. They will lie just to get you in because the worker get paid through your loans. I visit Birmingham campus and the Campus was the nasty, disgusting and the advisor are very unprofessional. I never seen an adviser dress in pant and a tshirt. Stay away from Tobias Roberts and Mrs Jackson they are unprofessional advisers. It don't even look like a college. I'm not pay 30000 for tuition.Ke Moving

I've been trying get enrolled for the last week and recieve info about the nursing program.. they call you from all these weird phone numbers and when you do answer the phone..I was told someone will contact me from the school well this whole ordeal has change my mind about attenting herzing college..Karen Bishop

Their Nursing program is NOT ACEN accredited and, tuition is expensive. Not to mention, their pass rate is TERRIBLE. Do not waste a dime on their Nursing program.NoPantiesOn

DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL. Despite the higher than normal expense, I chose this location due to the review ratings; however, after six treatments, I have had very minimal results. At my last session I informed my aesthetician regarding my concerns, but she did not have any realistic answers other than fulfilling all nine treatments for Maximum results. I have had friends that have had this service done and only four treatments were necessary. I may have different texture hair and/or growth, but I expected major changes after six treatments. I can not tell any from my upper lip and minimal results from my underarms and private area. Although the staff was super friendly, I feel like they prolonged the process for profit. When I was asked about patchiness, I realized that it was because they were not treating the full area efficiently. I debated on writing a review, but after spending a few thousand on hair removal with minimal to no results I felt that it was necessary to warn others or address this issue. I would also like to add how unprofessional Dr. Hartman was after writing this review. I received a generic letter from Dr. Hartman, stating that they would “no longer be available to provide medical services” to me, because of “philosophical differences in how to handle issues that may arise with treatment”… the bottom of the letter was a handwritten remark, “if you would have talked to us about your dissatisfaction we would have worked with you. In the past, I’ve given patients free treatments. I hope that writing the review sparked joy for you.” …. As I stated in my original review, I had addressed the issue with the technician. At each treatment, I expressed seeing minimal to no results in certain areas to both technicians that treated me. Although the technicians were friendly and was excellent at making me feel comfortable, I felt that the treatments were rushed and often not thoroughly done; therefore, prolonging the treatment process.Angela Davis

I recently visited Skin Wellness Dermatology (Homewood) for a first time appt. I traveled from out of the area, as I specifically wanted to see Dr. Corey Hartman. My visit with Dr. Hartman was as expected- exceptional! Dr. Hartman is highly knowledgeable and very personable. It's evident he truly cares about the patient. With his level of expertise, Dr. Hartman was able to quickly diagnose my issue and compose a treatment regimen to resolve the issue. I did have an opportunity to ask questions (which were all addressed) with regard to the treatment plan. Additionally, outside of Dr. Hartman, the practice staff were very welcoming/helpful, and the office (itself) is modern and clean. So happy I made the trip! Great visit!BethAnne Browne

Brittany is the best. She found something I would have never thought was a problem and probably saved my life. Dr. Hartman is a wonderful surgeon. He always has jokes and makes me feel comfortable during surgeries. I won't go anywhere else. There are many clients who come here for cosmetic purposes…and they must work because I swear Dr. Hartman ages backwards (been going to him for 9 years.) I come here for skin cancer and can't recommend him enough if you struggle with this. My excision scars are so neat and clean…he is very good at what he does. Between Brittany and Dr. Hartman I feel like I don't have to be afraid and they always make thoughtful/educated recommendations about my health.Ashley Johnson

UPDATE: MY PERSONAL OPINION IS MERCEDES NEEDS A RAISE OR A PROMOTION FOR HER EXCELLENT SERVICE SHE SHOWS TO THE PATIENTS. All these 5 STARS are for Mercedes. I think she is a Receptionist and when I called my anxiety was through the roof. My appointments were mixed up and having Stage 4 Breast and Lymphatic Cancer I get extremely nervous and my Anxiety is BAD to say the least. This woman had the most gentle voice. And took the time to listen to my concerns. She fixed everything. And actually genuinely cared about my problems. By the end of the call, my anxiety was down and everything was perfect. She did her job to the fullest of not just making sure the office ran well with my appointments but was very concerned about my problems and attentive to my needs and I can't Thank sweet Mercedes enough for being a employee that went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of. Just her sweet calm voice calmed me down. Please don't ever lose a sweet and qualified employee like her. And Honestly she deserves a raise or promotion. Because when you come across a diamond like her, you better hold on to her because a good health care worker like her is hard to find. And Thank you for listening to me because as a Cancer Patient I have seen 100's of Doctors and their workers.So,,, I know a good, selfless and caring person like Mercedes when I meet one. Thank You for listening and I look forward to meeting her When I come for my appointment, ….Stevie SellersOneWish *

Can't even believe I was treated with kindness, empathy, and respect as a uninsured patient. I'm so grateful for this office! EDIT: After a follow-up visit, I was made aware that without insurance there was nothing any provider could do for me at the clinic. I would not waste my time with this office unless it were in dire circumstances. All they're willing to offer are needlessly expensive, ineffective, outdated, unsupported and unempirical treatments- of which are no better, and more often, worse than living with the horrific -yet free-medical conditions precipitating the need for medical care.Amiee Newsome

Check in was pleasant. The front desk clerk was very friendly and professional.Waiting time was sufficient and quick, didn’t have to wait long at all. The nurse that collected all my information was extremely helpful and friendly. She really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Naomi H. Washington listened to all my questions and was very informative. I found my first visit there a wonderful experience. The only thing that I would like to be better is the parking situation . I am handicapped and can’t walk that far, so it would be nice if there was more accessible parking spaces for the handicapped.Yolanda Williams

Dr. Marshall had to repair my shoulder and bicep tendon as my 2nd shoulder surgery (previous surgery with another surgeon). Dr. Marshall LISTENED TO ME as I just knew something wasn't right. FINALLY after a year and a half….the numbness and tingling in my arm and shoulder is gone. I cannot thank Dr. Marshall enough for getting me back on the path to recovery and listening to me and what I was feeling as patients know their bodies. He will be my only ortho from here on out…..thank you!!! You and your staff are top notch!Deanna Mayfield

They were very nice and very friendly and clean. The doctor was very concern he listen to what you say is wrong and not what he think is wrong with you and how you should feel . I give them a 5 star rating thank y’all so much it was definitely noticed that you do care and that you want to hear from the patient.Tricia Miller

I recently had a shoulder replacement. Dr Marshall and the staff have provided excellent patient care. Dr Marshall is patient, kind and highly skilled. He explained my surgery in detail and answered every question. I’m extremely pleased with my surgical experience and outcome.Cynthia Green

I was initially seen at the Huntsville office for a diagnosis. Upon learning I was going to have to surgery for this, the coordinator suggested I go to Birmingham for my procedure since it could happen quicker there than waiting for a later appointment in Huntsville to become available. We went to Birmingham and I had my procedure and was very very pleased with EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE there. The location and atmosphere were just the beginning of my pleasantly surprised experience. The office is very “inviting” to the senses by making you feel a calmness and ease about what’s to come. Honestly can’t say enough nice things about this place. My husband was also very impressed. He said we would always schedule any further procedures there instead of Huntsville……it was worth the extra little drive!! Thank all of you at Surgical Dermatology for being so kind and professional during my visit.A Mosquera

I had to have a mole removed and was referred to Surgical Dermatology. Had never even been out to this part of Liberty Park and was SO surprised and impressed. It was so serene and relaxing there, I wasn’t even nervous. It was not hectic or stressful or making you feel rushed. There was a pastor who walked us back and prayed for my procedure and some other events in our lives. It was really calming and nice. All the nurses were very nice and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Harmon was wonderful and got right down to business! He did a wonderful job and made me feel very reassured. This was the least amount of stress I’ve EVER had at a doctors appointment much less having a surgical procedure. So glad my friend recommended this group!Molly Feazell

My experience at Surgical Dermatology Group was exceptional! From the time I walked in the door to the end of the visit I was very impressed with the quality of service, the efficiency of the staff and the professionalism of the entire team. I appreciate them treating my time as important as theirs. The CRNP Stacy Davidson explained everything she was doing and what I could expect in the process while her assistant was giving my wife the wound care instruction. We were treated kindly and efficiently, best medical office visit that I can recall. Highly recommend!Walter Dodge

I chose Dr. Davis as my orthopedic specialist when I just knew I had tore my rotator cuff, and he had the most 5 star reviews. In actuality, I had 2 partial tears to my rotator cuff and a complete tear to my bicep tendon. Dr. Davis repaired me to as good as new. He is an outstanding doctor with a wonderful demeanor with his patients. Every visit I have with him makes me like him that much more. If you are in need of a fantastic orthopedic surgeon, do yourself a favor and choose Davis Orthopedics!Scarlet Brown

Or family has gone to Davis Orthopedic for various injuries throughout the years. Every staff member has been kind and professional, and I find Dr. Davis to be very knowledgeable and helpful to whatever the problem is. We especially appreciate him properly setting my son’s elbow after a fracture several years ago. It healed quickly and completely; my son can’t even tell there ever was an injury to that elbow.Amanda Ansel

Dr.Davis and his staff are awesome! They are always timely with appointments and prepared for me when I come in. It always a pleasure to spend time with them especially when it’s not always a comfortable situation due to injuries. I highly recommend Davis Orthopedics to anyone looking for a personal, professional and pleasant experience with orthopedic issues!JT Turner

Dr. Mallempati has been pleasant when talking with me and greets me with a smile. I appreciate his smooth, easy, simple way of sharing information to me and he appears interested in what you are saying about your pain. When I had a challenge he was very understanding and listen to my complaint but everything worked out. I really like my Dr.Regina Williams

Beautiful facility with amazing customer service. Everyone displayed a level of support and professionalism that made me feel extremely comfortable. I felt like I was in good hands. I appreciate the knowledge and professional feed back from my Doctor who performed the procedure. Thank You 🙏🏽 I definitely and highly recommend Dr MallempatiVeronica Moore

I've used Dr. Mallempati, and, Ortho Alabama Spine and Sport for several years. I've always been treated with courtesy and respect from making an appointment to seeing Dr. Mallempati. I am and have been satisfied with the results of my treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Mallempati and his staff.LA Huffstutler

The initial “interview” with staff was laborious and some parts unnecessary. When asked about medication, the girl needed to know what each med was for. And earlier surgeries she wanted to know about each one in some detail. Old news. And on second visit, was called to the interview station to ask if any information changed from the day before and what is pain level. It was more because of having to get up and down for stupid questions. The medical part of the visit and having mri done there was super top notch. Dr. Savage is great.Rose Casa

Dr Savage did my back operation in 1984/38 years ago I had scoliosis and been to him a few times about other things like my thumbs, and a hip situation that is over now. but as far as my back it’s been great for all these years I love him!!!cindy golsan

Dr. Savage, Sr. took the extra time to tell me what was going on with my neck pain and under my shoulder blade pain and had a game plan for me to relieve the severe pain I have been having. Thank you so very much, Dr. Perry Savage Sr.Scott Schatzer

I went in for severe low back pain, leg numbness, and leg pain. I was sent for an MRI but was not scheduled a follow up appointment. I had to call several times to get my results. I was then told that there was nothing in my MRI that would produce the symptoms I was having. He sent me back to my rheumatologist because he was sure I had polymyalgia rheumatica. I was in such pain I could not get out of bed for 2 days. I got the results of my MRI to look at myself and in plain writing it said I had degenerative disc disease with nerve root impingement on both sides of my spine. I followed up with a doctor in Huntsville for a second opinion and was told my disc was totally blown and I was bone on bone in L4/L5. I also have pinched nerves on both sides. I will be going in for surgery August 9th. I have not been this disappointed in a physician in a long time.Kim Waddell

Robert Poczatek, MD is an excellent physician. Wow! I am was so completely and pleasantly surprised. Dr Poczatek is so easy to talk to, very brilliant and great at administering tests. I have no idea how he could do anything better. His office and staff were just as pleasant, smiles and ‘good mornings’ everywhere! Please don’t ever change. He definitely makes you his number one priority. Thanks again for talking to me through the tests, to keep my mind off the tiny stings. You and your office are superb!kimberlina68

Dr. Poczatek has been our neurologist for several years and he's the best! Appointments always on time, and he %mlistens so attentively. He addresses concerns and our tests are scheduled asap. His diagnoses are always right on the money, and his treatments work. The surgeons associated with the practice are above excellent! We wouldn't think of going anywhere else.Tricia Crapet

The ease of scheduling online appointment and availability of appointments each day is what makes this place great. I have never had issues with this place before so I am sure that this most recent visit had something to do with staff not showing up and being short staffed. I had a 1:50 appointment, and did not see a doctor/nurse practitioner until about 2:50. We had to step out of our waiting room and ask how much longer because we had been waiting for over 30min and with a 1 year old it’s hard to keep them entertained in a small room for much longer than that. The air conditioning did not work that day either so that also didn’t make it better. We were not able to see the doctor but the nurse practitioner was great and we would love to see her any time we come back there if our normal pediatrician is closed or not available. Overall this is a great option especially for the hours this place operates. I’m sure they couldn’t help it, it just seemed like a long time when there was only one other family there to my knowledge at the time, but at the end of the day I’m glad we went and we would still go back because I am sure they were just simply under staffed at that moment.Dylan Williams

My experience at this Urgent location is usually pretty good. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because we had to wait so long before we were called back plus the wait was even long once we got in an actual room. There wasn’t many patients there that’s why I didn’t understand why we waited so long. Another reason for the 4stars was because the doctor (Pelham) came in like he was in a rush gave me a prescription that didn’t even have his information on it for me to get it filled! Then he prescribed my son some eye drops that were $28 when there was something he could have prescribed him that his insurance covered. AGAIN I believed that was because he was in a rush. Quinn at the front desk was awesome! She was very pleasant and patient when we checked in to be seen. I complimented her on that while we were leaving too. She always so helpful when I got to the pharmacy and had to call back for the doctors information for my son’s prescription. I am a admitting clerk myself so I realize the importance of being the first face patients see and Quinn has that mastered!Kelsey Corder

This is by far the laziest facility around. I brought my children here on separate days who both had Covid. I bring a school form to be signed and they refuse saying to take the form to my primary doctor. We did not see the primary doctor at all during that time. I brought my son in for an issue with his ankle and never got the results for the scans I called multiple times and left multiple messages for the office manager Lauren for days because they said it could possibly be fractured no one felt the need to call me back. 0/10 do not recommend. I’m almost certain the pediatrician is going to make up schedule an appointment to be seen before they will sign the form. 😒4C Could it be?

My experience with Roden Oral, Facial and Dental Implant Surgery was phenomenal. They were able to extract all 4 of my wisdom teeth. I was very nervous and the last surgery I had I was only 3 years old. Now I am age 27. They made me feel welcomed and like family. There was a lady that got everything prepped for the nurse and doctor. I forgot her name, but she was so personable. We got a chance to talk about vacations which I love to travel. This made me feel comfortable. The aftercare instructions were very detailed. It has been 2 weeks since my surgery and I have not taken any kind of pain medicine in a week. Since I followed the foods recommended to eat and not to eat, I didn't have any sensitivity or irritations. Thank you all so much! All of the phone calls to check on me really showed that you care!Pound cake Dannie

I have been seeing Dr Allen and Dr Roden for several years for differant dental issues. It is a pleasure to come and see them. Not that I like oral surgery but they have always made me feel at home and comfortable. They exhibit a genuine caring attitude and make you feel like one of their best friends. We talk about everything in our lives besides just how the dental procedure will go. The staff is also awesome because they have always made feel like family. Always a pleasant experience . The Dr's are very caring and attentive to their patients and they have always personally called me to see how I was doing after any dental procedure. If you are in need of an oral surgeon this is where you need to be.Larry Simma

This was by far one of the most personable doctor visits I’ve ever experienced. The bed side manners of each assistant that entered the room was amazing. They were very engaging and that helped calm my nerves a lot. While they were prepping me they were asking about things that helped keep me distracted and before I knew it I was all hooked up and had an IV in my arm. One of the assistants even told me how pretty I was 😌. Dr. Rodden was amazing I had no after pain and he also called the night of my surgery to check on me. It was the nicest thing a physician has ever done. I would highly recommend using this office for any oral surgery needs.Chandrea Hill
