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. Bampton has been my PCP for a number of years because of his attention to the patient and genuine concern for our health. I can't recommend him highly enough.

If you are in the market for an exceptional family practice and a doctor who listens to you, then I strongly suggest Physicians of Family Medicine and Dr. Bampton. I have been a patient at this office since it opened 25 years ago. When my doctor of 25 years retired from the Practice, the office suggested I see Dr. Bampton. I am happy to switch to Dr. Bampton. Also, since moving from the area, I travel one hour to go to Physicians of Family Medicine...they're worth it and so are you.

On a recent visit Dr. James Bampton and his staff were respectful of my time and needs. Each gave me the time I needed to convey my concerns; they carefully listened to what I was saying and responded in a professional and caring manner. Later, when I needed help with an expensive medicine, the staff was very helpful in securing samples until my insurance could arrange for payment of the medicine. Dr. Bampton and his staff truly offer patient centered care. I highly recommend Dr. Bampton!

I recently had to been seen and receive stitches for a cut. The doctor I had regularly seen is no longer with this practice so I was seen by Dr. Bampton and I could not be happier. Dr. Bampton took his time with me. Talking with me, stitching me up and ensuring I was up to date on shots and no allergic reactions to any medication. I am extremely happy with the practice and all the doctors, nurses and office staff.

Dr. Bampton's genuine and attentive approach gave me confidence that my health issues were not only being dealt with "best as possible", but also helped me understand how to handle my other health related concerns. When it cam to the issues for the visit, Dr. Bampton was very specific and addressed each one in a manner that left me relaxed about the treatments. The nurses and technicians were extremely pleasant and professional.

A few years ago, I like many found themselves looking for a new doctor, as my doctor had decided to retire. I am so glad that a family member told me about Dr. Bampton. He is always willing to listen and find the correct solution for my health problem. He developed a plan that fits my lifestyle, and has put me back on track to being healthy again. He is so willing to refer you to an expert if it is not something he is unsure of...not like some other doctors that will just medicate and forget.

Dr Bampton has always been amiable, courteous, professional, and effective; and he and his staff (Jenneta) makee me feel at ease regardless of whatever condition prompted visit. I'm stubbornly reluctant to go to any doctor's office, yet I've always regretted not seeing Dr. Bampton earlier, since every time he has given good advice getting my body and mind back to good health.
