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.

Dr. Combs is a no nonsense type of guy. I appreciate his personality as he doesn't leave room for fluff. He wants to get to the point and clear any confusion, which I like. I do believe he relies heavily on medications for treatment versus giving the patient opportunity to make changes. Everything has a pill...You can take that as you wish. Even though I feel this way, he does listen, which is so valuable in my opinion and even if I don't agree, he is ok with the patient taking an alternate route without degrading their decisions...

I saw Dr. Combs April 2017. He listened to me & help me MORE than any Doctor has. I have travelled around state to state and found him luckily. He is a quiet man of little words however when he speaks it's of substance. I asked for certain health care and he provided knowing what I've already suffered. He is helping me, alot. His staff was amazing. Ashley one of his nurses or assistance to nurse was a sweetheart. The office itself was amazing. Very warm feeling. It was nice. Thank you Dr. C

Dr. Combs involves me in the decision of how to treat my diabetes. Specifically, my current insulin is not working well for me but I DON'T to use syringes to deliver my insulin.He listened to me but he also had me to do some research on other insulin pen deliveries systems. I learned a lot and gained insight into this situation and I am staying with a pen delivery system. He respond PROMPTLY to emails sent to him through the portal.

He was rude, didn't even look up when he entered room. I had all my records with me, he wouldn't even look at past ct scans. Would not listen to my concerns at all. I had appt to see A pulmonologist at st Vincent's , because of my insurance I needed a referrel , he refused, said I HAD to stay in UAB health system , but wouldn't give me a referrel , this dr does not need to be in practice and he gives UAB a bad reputation. The staff was friendly, I have no idea how they tolerate him.
