I think he is truly committed to full patient health and delivers medical care as it should be, directly to the individual for the individual. I have been a patient of Dr. Pirkle's for over 10 years. I was compelled to write a review after reading some of the other reviews. Insurance, hospitals, reimbursement, and many other issues have affected how medicine is delivered. Some people are hard to please or don't like what they hear. If you want a skilled, dedicated primary care physician that you can trust, I recommend Dr. Pirkle, full-stop.

It is standard practice in any medical office for staff to identify themselves when answering the…read morephone. Many of us need to document who we spoke with, and providing one's name is as basic as confirming any element of communication. When I called this office and politely asked the MA for their name, I was met with attitude and a snarky "How may I help you?" simply for asking a basic question - he tone and unprofessionalism were what stood out. Upon further review, this doesn't appear to be an isolated incident--this type of attitude seems to be commonplace at this office. If multiple staff are responding this way, it suggests a larger issue with office stress levels, training, and customer service. Patients and caregivers deserve courtesy, transparency, and respect, not pushback for asking standard, reasonable questions.

I switched my primary care to Dr. Kolomey about six months ago and she has been amazing!…read more She even, without any prompting on my part, followed my recent ER hospitalization and jumped in to help with my care (my prior doc - over 5 years - NEVER did that!). Her office team, Patricia & Galina, are also better-than-great (again, in great contrast to my prior-Doc's office staff). Patricia & Galina should be Knighted! Given what's happening to my health, I may not have much time left, but Dr. Kolomey, Patricia & Galina are helping me get through this with patience and Grace! TNH

Every few months, I would report crippling symptoms but was told they'd clean up on their own. Once I got a second opinion, it turned out a year of alternative treatments would have been available elsewhere. Even my migraine treatments were adjusted, and things are much better now. I felt like my neurologist didn't take more than 5-10 min with me here or get to know me at EB Neurology, but this was just my personal experience.

Cornerstone's Website invites applications. When we called to inquire the receptionist encouraged…read moreus to apply for membership. My husband and I are in our 70s and are very active, including a routine of Pilates three times a week and walking daily. I also do some weight training. I wrote about these activities in our application. When we called, the receptionist encouraged us to apply. Three weeks later, without further contact, we received an email rejecting our application and stating that their practice is "full.." Either they are full, despite seeking applications, or offer healthcare only to young people, not an admirable attitude for physicians.

After multiple medical errors over the years by other doctors, that many doctors refused to properly document, she took the effort to review my records and provide the most accurate medical record that I have had since the first error in 2010- proving to be the most ethical doctor I have ever interacted with. It takes a special person to stand up against the flow in medical systems. She is that type of person. The type that would stand up and say that is wrong. Ethical enough not to work for system that were no aligned with her ethical integrity. A very rare find. She even found the root cause of the of the issues that were missed for years along with doing a very thorough GI work up-greatly improving symptoms and lessening risk damaging other organs. Noting that I have been going to a Functional Medicine GI doctor and did not have such a thorough GI work up. I wish her the best and hope that everything is ok with her. We are not sure why she ended up closing her practice, I hope everything is good, but rating her closing her practice is not rating her as the excellent doctor she is. I wish that someone as smart and ethical as her would be filling the space-but that isn't happening-sadly.

So bummed she is closing her practice because she is the best PCP (if not one of the best doctors)…read moreI've had! I started seeing Dr. Michaud last year after my former FNP (and awful GI doc) ignored some serious symptoms. She has a great bedside manner, is smart, proactive, and thinks outside of the box. She even came up with possible diagnoses other specialists missed. Although we never figured out the cause, she took EVERYTHING I told her VERY seriously. As a veteran patient, I cannot count how many doctors downplay or ignore serious symptoms. Dr. Michaud not only does the opposite of those doctors but should also teach other doctors how to take their patients' concerns seriously. I was able to get in the following week after scheduling as a new patient and never had difficulty getting appointments. Her receptionist, Annabelle, and her MA, Rachel are friendly and helpful. I wish I found her sooner and had more time to be her patient. Thanks Dr. Michaud for listening to me and helping me as well as serving as an example for the care I hope to provide my patients as a family physician one day!
