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.

Horrible Doctor
Worst doctor in Lubbock. Missed diagnosis of AFib after it has been going on for almost two months. As a doctor it should not be that hard to catch an irregular heart beat. Would not recommend to anyone ever.

Excellent Primary Care Doctor
Dr. Hale has been our family's physician for over 20 years. He is extremely knowledgeable about health conditions as well as medicine. He knows when to treat aggressively, when to refer to a specialist, and when to just listen. His nurses and office staff are fantastic. That's something that matters a lot. After 20+ years of having him as a physician I would not change a thing.

Rediculous Waiting time just to get a referral.... almost hour and a half. Why set an appointment when they can't even stay on time.... Terrible!

I have been seeing Dr. Hale for almost 30 years. My parents, my children and my husband go to him. The staff is amazing, they always make time for calls and appointments. I am normally in and out of his office in an hour.
