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.

think twice
Would not recommend this office. Dethridge kept talking how his staff was overloaded and just could not keep up..... Office may be good for cold's, flu, rash etc..

Excellent family physician. Always ready to take whatever time is necessary to discuss your medical care. Never talks over your head nor down to you. He ordered a biopsy after my PSA came back high. I did indeed have prostate cancer. Thanks to his recomendation, it was caught in its earliest stage and had not spread outside the prostate. For that I will always be grateful. Highly recommended.

Best family physician I have ever had! Very kind and compassionate, makes you feel like you are his ONLY patient. He is never rushed and he listens! I highly recommend Dr. Detherage.

Always have to see nurse practitioner rather than the doctor. Transitioning to this doctor and needed refills on cholesterol and blood pressure medicine. Even though I was completely out of these medications I was advised by male nurse that it may 2 or 3 days to get the refills due to the holidays. I was going out of town in 2 days and was advised that I may need to go to urgent care, he thinks they prescribe medicine. Dr. needs to monitor staff's lack of compassion towards patients.

He did not take my symptoms serious, so 3 months later i was in the hospital havi g brain surgery due to a large brain tumor. Because of his no care i was disabked more than i would have been if he took his job seriously 3 months before. He is the type of doctor who only cares about the money he can make. The ER Doc said he was an idiot for not sending me straight to him in the ER.
