In patients' words
"DR. HOLCOMBE ALMOST KILLED ME, PUT ME IN A COMA FOR A WEEK ,MY FAMILY HAD ME TRANSFER TO BIRMINGHAM TO GET ME THE HELP I NEEDED. HE HAS A POOR BEDSIDE MANNER LIKES TO PUT YOU DOWN IN FRONT OF STAFF. I AM A NURSE AND NEVER SEEN SUCH CURLTY AND UGLINESS FROM A DOCTOR."
— RateMDs/Birdeye review"Dr. Holcombs nurse called and said he had to be paid or would turn me away the morning of my procedure. Even though they billed my BCBS. So I had to pay out of pocket cash. Week later I found out BCBS paid it. I called to get my money back and it took over 2 months."
— Birdeye review"I have been going to Dr. Holcombe for four years. He has always been professional and brilliant concerning my health. He diagnosed my problem and referred me to a specialist in Birmingham that could repair my problem. He works with this specialist and I see Dr. Holcombe annually and more often if needed for checkups."
