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.

Avoid this guy like the plague
The last time I had the displeasure of seeing this doctor was when he gave me the results of my blood tests. He had no idea about lead levels when they were a problem when they needed chelation therapy. I questioned him about my lead levels and challenged his diagnosis because I've done a lot of research and spoke to other doctors about this, he got upset with me threw the results on my lap and as he was walking out the door told me good luck. This guy needs to retire. He's rude, doesn't listen to the patient. He has a god complex.

Horrible
Really can not say anything positive about this person who pretends to be caring one minute then make ridiculous judgement about a person they do not know, nor know what they have gone through.. very hateful under all that fake niceness.

Should be a zero. As someone in customer service understands good and bad customer service, Gerald Woodard allowed me to fall through the cracks, while pushing pain killers the entire time. Dr Holly is liar and will lie to your face without problem. If you want a long wait, lack of organization and a doctors who blows you off with a day-date Rolex on his wrist. Come here, otherwise stay clear.

I went to see a chiropractor a few days before and during the consultation I got really dizzy and began having extreme chest pain and elevated heart rate. My chiropractor office called 911 and I was shipped off to the ER where I spent the next two days getting test done. They performed multiple blood test, X-rays, and CT scans all coming back negative, but said I had a fever. After giving me no medication or no explanation as to why I was having chest pains in r fevr they sent me on my way back home with no answers and no treatment. That following night I continued to have extremely bad chest pains and body aces. The next morning I went to visit Dr. Woodard’s office. Within mins of my visit he was able to treat me and get me the correct medication now just a few days later I’m feeling back to normal. I was at such a low and desperate point in my life and now that I’m feeling better I feel I owe a lot to him. Thank you doc I really appreciate the compassion and care you provided to me.

I was "assigned" Dr. Woodard by the hospital after breaking my hip soon after we moved here. He was wonderful - gentle, caring, complete - as well as his staff. I would highly recommend them and we are making them our primary care doctors.

They say that the pride comes before the fall. Get ready to fall. And oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall in about 10 days. This will all make more sense soon. Sleep tight.

Never seen the Dr. himself. My opinion based on my experience in one word, incompetent. Go elsewhere if you care anything about your health.

A very caring doctor. Great staff. I am so grateful he is my doctor. He takes walk in appointments. The wait time is longer, but saves going to urgent care.

My experience is not good. I'm leaving. Long waits, the shortest wait time I've had has been 90 minutes. The Dr. seems to be a nice enough fella and I get the feeling he's pretty impressed with himself. He also seems like he's "checked out", maybe looking forward to retirement. The office is borderline dysfunctional, lots of mistakes.

Trying to think of the words to describe dr Woodard and his office in DBS. Horrible, terrible, maybe. Too many patients, long waits, mistakes, dismissive, incompetent. Skip this one, I'm leaving. I've had bad experience after bad experience.
