Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very professional and courteous. He recommended specialist right away when needed. Explained test results so that I am able to understand. I was late for a phone appointment and he sang a reminder to me that would call back in 10 minutes. It made me smile.

Dr. Peoples is very personable. He is caring and empathetic. He showed me on the computer the visual of what he saw in his examination, and immediately put in a referral to the specialist. I appreciated that so much. He also played the guitar and sand happy birthday to another patient. I was very impressed with the care you can see he has for each of us that have him as our doctor.

Dr. Peoples has been kind, concerned and great to me when I've gone in for my annual wellness visits. I am so grateful to have a doctor who listens to me and is easy to talk with and explain things in a manner that I can understand. Shelby Norman who is the Health Coach is also such an asset to the office as is Corren who manages the front office. I am very pleased with Dr. Peoples and the staff in general when I have visited.

I was coming out of my home town because my doctor retired and I didn't have access to another in town. I found the staff very accomodating and Dr. Peoples very warm and accepting. He has a wonderful bedside manner and was so receptive. There is nothing I would change about my visit accept the location.

He made my teen son feel incredibly uncomfortable and his solution to my son's mental health crisis was religious rhetoric. Even after we told him we were not religious he told my depressed son that the world was evil and that even good people would let him down and only God could give life meaning. I asked about medications and he said they didn't really help. A DOCTOR says this. He also does this really creepy thing where he stares you in the eye and says nothing for long periods. I am planning to file a formal complaint.
