Called three times to get information on…read morewhy they haven't processed my refill, after being told the first few times that it was because my pharmacy had not faxed the refill (they had, per my Pharmacy), the third time the lady proceeded to argue with me over the phone and told me I had to schedule an appointment to get a refill for an unscheduled medication that I have been prescribed for the last 10 years, then hung up on me after correcting herself and taking the pharmacy information from me. They don't have voicemail and don't accept email, making it quite difficult to get in touch with the doctor or staff for basic things. I've been a patient at this doctor's office for almost 4 years, and will not be returning - do not go unless you want to be talked down to and treated in an unprofessional manner. Dr. James cook himself is a nice man and hasn't really done anything wrong except accidentally ordering tests that only need to be conducted on individuals 55 or older (per my insurance). The staff being so rude is a deal breaker, however. Avoid, go somewhere else where the staff will respect you.

Nurses were great once I saw them but the doctor was dismissive about my care and treated me horribly. I have never experienced this type of care where I was basically punished for being in waiting room, brought paperwork with me and was dismissed by doctor and said he couldn't help me. Very disappointed in this practice especially since I did everything I was supposed too and arrived early only to be told by staff they don't get back from lunch until 115pm or so.

I was sent for X-rays (not needed) and ultrasounds, which they said they were never faxed for weeks--- which they were, the company that sent them verified with me multiple times that they sent them to the correct number. They then expected me to come back for treatment although I needed to see a specialist to get surgery. They seem to prefer to do telemed appointments, which are not very helpful and cost the same as a regular visit. The nurse was very nice but the dr does not seem to care about you or what is going on.

Never had an insurance issue, a billing problem, a problem getting an appointment, prescription or information. I recommend this practice to all my female friends.

Came here for my first physical in years, figured I was overdue for one. Dr. Kent took care of me…read morefairly well, and he was very straightforward in his approach which I greatly appreciated. Dr. Kent was one of my options as a member of the Anthem Healthkeepers section of Bluecross, and he had quite a lengthy service record as a physician, so I opted for him. His office was very quaint, didn't look like a doctor's office from the outside at all. Parking was easy, and the front desk employee was pleasant enough. They asked me to call my insurance company later to have Dr. Kent listed as my PCP, though when I did so later I was told that that was unnecessary and that Dr. Kent would definitely be properly compensated regardless; I get the feeling that many of Kent's patients have been a little problematic in terms of payment based on the way the employee approached the situation. I didn't have to wait very long at all before Dr. Kent came to get me. We went through the process of taking my history and basic measurements, though he did seem a bit rushed in doing so; his explanation was that one of his nurses wasn't there that day, so it's understandable I suppose. After that I was whisked down the hall to do the usual fluid tests and that process was about what you'd expect from a place of this nature, though they did it very expediently. Returned to Kent post-tests a few minutes later and he saw nothing of note on my lab results. Need to lose a little weight, though I was well-aware of that before I came in (if you see all my restaurant reviews on here, it shouldn't be any surprise that I have gained a few pounds!). A few days later, he called me back with the additional lab results and told me that everything checked out and that he wished me much luck in the future as I would likely not have to return for a year or two. Overall, he seemed quite nice and well-informed and I would likely return to him for another yearly checkup or if I was experiencing general problems. I'd take him over PatientFirst anyday! Overall: 4.0 stars ----------- Pros: - He has lots of experience, he's straightforward, and he's attentive. - Easy parking. - Very short wait, and your visit probably won't take too long. Cons: - Admittedly, I did feel rushed through the history-taking process. If there had been something wrong with me, I would have been a bit worried that he might have missed something. - The practice has a very informal feel to it, though it doesn't really detract from the quality of care you're receiving.

He's got a great sense of humor and he's easy to talk to. He really listens to you and provides excellent advice based on a conservative approach (ie. therapy before surgery).

I've never had a hard time getting an appointment and every other doctor he's given me referrals to have been great as well. Best. Doctor. Ever. Seriously, I can't say enough good things.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Carl's for several years. I cannot begin to express how…read moremuch of a valued member of our family he and his staff truly are! We have several members of our family with very specific health needs and Dr. Carl and his staff keep us up to date so we don't have to remember all of the details! They take care of it for you. Making appointments is as easy as can be. Prescription refills are always checked and evaluated and dispensed appropriately. Cathy is the lead nurse and she is always super organized and extremely helpful and communicative! Colleen is such a sweet and welcoming member of WellcomeMD. I always love seeing her face!:) Heidi is fabulous on the phone and great with communications. She gets the job done! But when it comes to your health, your relationship with your doctor, it's an intimate dynamic because it requires clarity and trust on the part of the doctor and patient. Dr. Carl is so relaxed that he puts his patients at ease immediately. He is thorough and goes through all of your blood panels with you one-on-one and makes excellent suggestions and also is complimentary if he feels that you are doing well. He will prescribe supplementation only if it is reflected as needed in your bloodwork. Personally, my blood pressure zooms up every time I go to the doctor. But with Dr. Carl, he brings it back to normal and puts me at ease. Obviously, my entire family and I are fans of WellcomeMD. I recommend Dr. Carl and Dr. Colfer to everyone I know! As an aside, we drive 1.5 hours each way, just to be a part of their practice. They are THAT good.
