6 stars! I cannot…read moresay enough good things about this man and his practice. First of all, he's ALWAYS on time, which is absolutely unheard of for a doctor. When I visit other doctors, I think I'm doing good when I get in only 30 minutes after my appt time. He's personable, funny and has a spectacular bedside manner. He has a fantastic personality and a great attitude. He makes you feel at ease which is a pretty big feat for a man who is about to stick a huge needle in your back. I have had back pain for 7 years. I had an MRI about 2 years ago that showed L4 and L5 are partially herniated. I told the doctor how much pain I was in, and she refused to do anything except refer me to a physical therapist (I had already been to physical therapy on and off for THREE years with no relief) because "I really shouldn't have any pain at all since I only have slight nerve impingement." Btw, this was Dr. Cherie Miner at St. Vincent's. Do not go to see her! A few weeks later the pain got so bad that I could barely walk. My dad suggested I go to a chiropractor, and the chiropractor referred me to Dr. Beretta. I started seeing Dr. Beretta for epidurals in September 2013. Even though I moved to Nashville in August 2014, I continue to make the 3 hour drive every 12 weeks to have the procedure performed by him. This man has changed my life. I'm able to exercise and dance again, oh and walk, which is pretty important!

When my doctor moved from Birmingham, I dreaded having to go to someone new. I waited for a while…read moreand made a stop by a doc in the box the one time I got sick. Eventually my refills were gone and it was time to bite the bullet. A friend recommended Dr. Lipperd, so I called to make an initial appointment. First, I was really happy that this is basically a stand alone location with a private lot. No parking decks, elevators, or long hallways to deal with. The waiting room was pretty crowded, but everyone seemed to be called in a timely manner. I met with a nurse, a nurse practitioner, and then Dr. Lipperd. All three were friendly and seemed to actually care. After discussing my medical history and current and past medications, I felt VERY comfortable with the entire group. I think I've found my new general practitioner.

I'm a new patient for primary care, so I was required to come an hour early to fill out paperwork (the entire visit including new patient paperwork and then bloodwork in the lab after my examination took right around two hours total). There's nothing significant to say about the office--it's your run-of-the-mill doctor's office with fluorescent lighting, a few magazines, and a TV on the wall tuned to HGTV. I was, however, impressed with the level of care. I met the nurse (Nikki) first, and she was very receptive and friendly as she weighed me and took my blood pressure. I waited for about 15 minutes in the examination room before Dr. Looney saw me. He was also great--very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He asked me a lot of questions about my previous doctors and care, and was very attentive as he allowed me to ask all the questions I had for him. After my visit, he led me back to Nikki's station to make my next appointment, and then they sent me off to the lab (the bloodwork is done at Quest Diagnostics, which is a laboratory on the same floor as the doctor's office). I also like the fact that they use MyChart, which is an online portal where you track your exam/test results, bloodwork, prescriptions, and future appointments. This patient portal also allows you to send notes directly to the doctor between visits. Overall, I enjoyed and appreciated this new practice and everyone who worked there. Now that I'm officially in their system, I'm hoping the next visit won't take quite as long.

I know I am a pharmacist ! I made a review about him before instead of calling me and discussing my issues he just didn't even care whether my health care mattered I didn't write a review to be bad but he forced me to write a review!

My MRI most definitely proved I was not in fact seeking drugs.

I also have had issues trying to even get my prescribed medications to the correct pharmacy even though I made sure to tell everyone including Dr. Colvard. I hope this review helps them understand that bedside manner is everything to a patient with a herniated disc trying to make the doctor show some kind of compassion. I was made to feel less than important or believed and by no means is that ok.

I admit I have had to go to Medhelp in Pelham several times over this past year with respiratory infections of some sort. I have a tendency to have an awful cough day and night and the only thing that works is a cough medicine yes with (omg a narcotic). Dr. Wever's nurses and staff are wonderful but today he treated me as if I was only seeking drugs. I am writing this at 3:30am because I got prescribed "pearls" which are the equivalent to taking a tic tac so, I am awake coughing. This bodes well for my nursing students tomorrow. I realize there are people just wanting drugs and, if that was the case, I could get better drugs outside of the office if I wanted. I was there for help with this cough and, to listen to my lungs, Dr. Wever barely touched the stethoscope to my back ( in just two places) and two on the front. Never asked me to take a deep breath or even looked at my throat. He made his mind up I was only there for a tiny bottle of cough medicine, that would not get me far if my goal was to get high. I love paying a co-pay and to take time off work to be viewed the way I was, and to still be up coughing. I also didn't appreciate his nurse being the one to tell me he did not prescribe me any cough medicine. That was not her responsibility to explain why he chose not to treat my cough appropriately. The front staff and all nurses there are absolutely wonderful and this review does not reflect on them in any way. I work in healthcare and I know we all get skeptical but sometimes, just sometimes, patients need to be treated as an individual that comes in for help but instead leaves feeling worse than when they came in.

Once I was back in the room to be seen I can hear the doctor yelling on the phone being very unprofessional.

Not bc I don't have a sinus infection but bc she apparently doesn't do that. Or anything really. They also put your credit card on file and tell you no copay then say they'll charge you later. I could hear them saying a price that isn't my correct copay but wouldn't confirm or deny what I was to pay. There's literally no reason to come here.

I received a text yesterday reminding me that my appointment would be at 10:30 am today and to "pls arrive 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork". I have never personally been to his clinic and was recommended to him by a relative who was nice enough to book the appointment for me. I googled his address and when I arrived and waited to get in, I was informed that he was now located at another location across the street. I drove there, waited in line to have my temperature checked, and was informed again that I was at the wrong building and needed to drive a half mile to the actual location of his office. My appointment was at 10:30 and I arrived and signed the sheet at 10:32. They informed me that I was too late to my appointment to be seen because I needed to really be there at 10 instead of 10:30 even though my appointment is at 10:30. I explained about the confusion with the address. They said they understood, but it didn't matter and that I would have to reschedule for another day even though I have waited 3 months. If in the message the said that it was 100% necessary for me to be there at 10 instead of 10:30 then I would have of course come at 9:45, but it only passively asks you to arrive early to fill out paperwork, which I WOULD HAVE DONE HAD THE ADDRESS ON HIS GOOGLE LISTING BEEN CORRECT! It no where says that it was a mandatory time of 10am in which case you should have it say "MUST BE HERE AT X TIME TO BE SEEN" in which case my appointment should have been at 10 instead of 10:30. We also had 3 months leading up to this appointment so if it was so important that I have this then why not email me the paperwork to have finished beforehand? I have never had this happen with a doctors appointment in my life and am completely thrown off at how unprofessional his staff acted. Very poor scheduling and handling of me as a new patient. I will not be back and do not recommend anyone to go here if this is how they handle their own error by not updating their address. I can't imagine how they would handle me if I had a genuine medical concern so please try anywhere else. He is apparently an amazing doctor, but that's moot if his office handles their business this way.
