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.

BAD REVIEWS APPEAR TO BE ALL THE SAME PERSON
I started with dr Southard about the same time he started his practice and have NEVER experienced any of the negatives listed in these reviews. As a Viet Nam vet I had never gone to a doctor in over 10 years and had a bad cough. Dr Southard recommended some excellent specialists that I still see to this day. My wife and I just had our yearly physicals last week and he is as caring and compassionate as always.

Amazing Physician!
I have been a patient of Dr. Southard's for over 20 years. He is the absolute best at what he does. He is knowledgeable, insightful, and caring. He has diagnosed every issue that I have had. I find these low ratings of him amazing. That has not been my experience at all.

Dr. Southard failed to provide competent care. He lacks pharmacological knowledge and must leave the exam room to consult Google. Ultimately, most galling is his failure to inquire about a critically ill patient of over 10 years. Ultimately he abandoned her care.

I had pain in my ear, called Friday morning. The woman answered the phone and gave me an appointment for Monday at 8 am. Received a call at the end of the day telling me my appointment was cancelled by the Dr. Mickey mouse operation

I stopped going to Dr. Southard. He has become very arrogant over the years and has stopped learning and educating himself. I would no longer recommend him to anyone.

Dr Southard is a caring physician. Listen to his patients period his stuff is awesome, and also cares very much and we'll listen to your issues. The nurses call to find out when you are sick how you are doing. Excellent care all the way around. This office does not make you wait. I can't say enough about them.

Thought he cared in the beginning but learned he's not the type of Doctor you will want or need in the long run. To bad I thought he cared. Wouldn't recommend. There's better out there.

Doctor Let down in Amherst, NY – Oct 31, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Southard?
Dr. Southard displays a remarkable disinterest in current patients. He fails to read and communicate test results nor does he bother to read other doctors' reports. Obtaining a sick visit has become nearly impossible.
