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 Experience

Actually was treat by PA Vail.
Injections went well. Ask for someone to listen to her chest due to persistent cough. Another individual, don’t recall his name, did come in and said her lungs seemed clear, recommended we check in with her primary care doctor. Appreciated accommodation of our request.

Would never recommend
I went into get knee repaired very simple procedure have had several similar surgeries. After surgery told DR. Babb and his staff something was still wrong with my knee. They either didn't believe me or didn't care. Prior to last visit tried to fix it with a cortizone shot, last visit I was told it was Arthritis and they sent me on my way. Prior to leaving on my last visit the PA suggested I get second opinion I guess he doesn't have much confidence in the man either. Fast forward six months going to another Doctor for the repairs Dr. Babb was supposed to make and out more time and money. Very disappointed with my experience clearly wasn't willing to listen or pay attention to my concerns very arrogant. Not exactly sure how this is going to end but I would not recommend DR. Babb to anyone.
