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.

Very good doctor
Dr Turner has been my PCP since I was 18 years old . I'm now 38 . He will do the most for his patients in order to find a diagnoses rather it be getting the test ordered asap to getting them to a specialist. Dr. Turner is very intelligent and yesbrutally honest with his patients and that is what I appreciate the most from him . If you are the type that takes offense to a doctor not sugar coating the facts of your Health risk or if you don't appreciate a doctor getting to the purpose? Well then maybe he isn't the one for you , but take it as your loss bc he has years behind him in internal medicine and is one of the best in Dyer Co. He isn't being rude , he's getting his point across to get your attention when he feels like you need to hear it . He is concerned enough to give you honesty rather than a doctor that's only concern is how much they can bill your insurance . So In my opinion that's more to me than waiting 4 a physician to break it to me softly, but I'm no sissy LaLa

VERY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL!!!
He talked very ugly to my mom and told her that Im going to be reason that she dies because her 'frea-king' daughter doesn't answer her 'frea-king' phone. 1st of all, I work Monday-Friday until 7pm and I'm not supposed to be on my phone at work so I keep it on silent. 2nd of all, I DO NOT live with my mom, I'm just a secondary contact for her. Her home phone is her primary # to contact, but she works as well and isn't always home. It's like he expects me to sit at my mom's house all day and answer calls when I have a job of my own. Instead of asking her questions at her visit, he chose to scold her and blame me if she dies. Fast forward to the follow-up, they decided to call MY phone again (luckily it was before work) so I answered and told the lady I could give her my mother's # if she needed it. She said it was already on file and she would call her. When I made it to my mom's house, I asked her if she got a call from the Dr's office and she said no...but it's my fault, huh?

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED – Dec 20, 2024

He listens to your responses. He is thorough. He cares about his patients. He follows thru with what procedures need to be down. He makes sure you understand what is wrong. I can not say enough great things about him.

The wait time , I have no complaints on. We get in quickly, unless he is extremely busy. Understandable. As a Dr he is the best! He listens to what you have to say.
