Provider Reviews

Terrible. Arrogant and unpleasant. He kept asking if I had given myself something to hurt myself! Three times! Huh? I think he is kind of scary. Why is he allowed to act this way. I do not trust him at all.

Review for Dr. Platt

Dr. Skidmore was the physician that came in charge when a tumor was discovered inside one of her vertebrae, against her spinal column. His surgery went perfectly, and his follow-up care has been wonderful. There are not words to match our appreciation

Review for Dr. Skidmore

The whole process was quick. Everyone was friendly, caring and helpful. Dr. Slaughter and his PA were both very professional and explained things clearly. I got injections which are never pleasant but necessary. Will return and recommend for myself and others!!
