A very quiet, unassuming practice in the corner of the second floor of a physician's medical building. 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. read more

John Looney, MD - Internal Medicine Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

Dr. Looney is about as looney as a lonney bird ! He's very arrogant and disrespectful and will not treat you as a patient but rather as a paycheck and doesn't treat you if you are sick ! He is a very bad primary physician and shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine! If you go in sick instead of giving you a broad spectrum antibiotic he waits for lab work to show your white blood cell count is high then waits for no reason to finally call in a antibiotic so you are sick for 2-3 more days without antibiotics! 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! read more
