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.

Outstanding in his field
Dr Turner has been my doctor for nearly 20 years. Aside from saving my life by detecting cancer early, he’s provided rock solid advice and comprehensive care. Can’t recommend Dr. Turner enough

Very efficient office. Usually can get an appointment in a day or two. Dr. Turner has been my primary doctors since 1996. He is efficient and pragmatic. Wish they would rehab their office- it needs a refresh.

He has sent me to the acknowledged expert cardiac electrophysiologist in the country when he could not resolve my dizzy/fainting spells which had resulted at one time in my fainting and breaking both fibulula. It was determined that I needed a defibrillator/pacemeker. So I feel this decision by Dr. Turner may be one that has been protecting my life for the past 8 years.

Dr Turner is an astute diagnostician. His strong listening skills coupled with keen mind allow him to quickly understand the situation presented. I say this as someone who has had a life involved in medical issues and seeing multiple doctors. Dr Turner has taken me and my husband through very serious conditions and life-threatening illnesses. I can't say enough good things about or recommend him more vigorously. I have always found his office staff as very helpful and professional.

DO NOT go to this doctor. He told my mother she had a pulled muscle. It was blood cancer. Wow, missed that one. And he also missed her severe UTI. Go to another doctor.
