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 Costner
I have been seeing Dr. Costner for at least 25 years. He has always been very efficient and concerned about my welfare and my health. I love to see him because I know I can depend upon him. It is very easy to get an appointment, the people in his offices are very nice and I don’t have a problem going anytime at all. He is not only a great doctor but a beautiful human being.

Great Doctor
Great doctor. Wish he could get a location in my State. Have to find a new doctor now as it is hard to get to his locations. As a senior citizen it is getting harder to keep up with appointments. Get ready for the Senior Sunami. Need to see my doctor, but out of State it is difficult. Wish him and staff well. Happy Mothers Day Tanya R. Byers.

I hate that Dr. Costner is not with Riverwood Medical. He was my doctor, and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I hope I can find out where he went. He's an awesome doctor. Gonna miss him alot and I'm very saddened by his leaving.

I have been going to this practice since it began, at least 25+ years. Dr. Costner is well informed; intelligent; straight forward; insightful; and caring. Dr. Costner, is always patient-centered, I respect and trust his competencies and conscientiousness. Since the practice became part of Carolina's Health Care System, staff have become outcome-focused. This is insulting and hurtful to patients and I do take offense to this treatment. However, I will not give up Dr. Costner, he is the best.

The office is awful. The staff are extremely rude and never help you get appointments or refill medication. Dr Costner isn't bad but he needs to switch offices.
