In patients' words
"My visit went well and all of the staff was great and kind, and doctor and nurse practitioner took time to ask questions and listened to me and didn't just rush through the visit."
— UAB Medicine (Dr. Brandon Brooks review)"The doctor as well as his staff were very personable, yet professional. Dr. Paul is one of my favorite doctors. He’s very attentive and responsive to my concerns and he makes me feel heard."
— UAB Medicine (Dr. Christopher Paul review)"I’ve been seeing this doctor for thirteen years for chronic pain after two back surgeries... He was rude and didn’t take three minutes with me. He didn’t even stay in the room long enough for me and my husband to ask about alternatives to alleviate my pain."
— Healthgrades (Dr. James Beretta review)"Absolutely horrible Doctor, She is rude and disrespectful. She claims that everyone had back issues and disk problems. The first thing out of her mouth was, 'nothing i can do for you'."
