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.

Not quite right
Referred to her, made appointment, waited two hours, no show. Made another appointment and arrived to find she would not be in that day and no one bothered to call me . I had a 90 minute drive both times.

Dr Gurley and her medical assistant, Rebecca Humphries, are amazing. They are quick to respond to health issues and have perfectly diagnosed multiple family members quickly and efficiently - getting us into the office or prescribing meds per symptomatic diagnosis. Thank you for the great, professional, and friendly service you provide in Lagrange!

Misdiagnosed me. Used assistants and never met her face to face. Looking back I see she just tossed a generic diagnosis at me and never really evaluated the testing images. I had surgery two years later which confirmed her lack of review of images and completely wrong diagnosis. Glad I went to a better doctor, but I wish I had never wasted two years in the process. I don't thing she cared a bit for me as a patient.

Sent out for additional lab work without any notification. More interested in additional billing I must assume.
