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.

Excellent doctor!!
Heather is very personable and kind. She is very knowledgeable. I would and have recommended her to many!

Excellent care
Heather always listens and explains thoroughly. She never rushes and tells you what she thinks the problem is. Her and her assistant Kelly are both professional.

My first appointment was November 22. I was being seen for one bump on my right knee and one planters wart on the bottom of my right foot. During that visit, Heather froze 3 different areas on my foot referencing they were all plantar warts which I questioned.The area where the 2 supposedly additional plante warts was sensitive for a few weeks. During yesterday’s visit, Heather then stated the 2 items were calluses. I pointed out if they were calluses why did she say they were planter warts previously and freeze them. I then stated how sensitive they were which she said made sense because of them being on a pressure point. Thus I am disappointed with having 2 calluses froze and then being charged for having 2 additional plantar warts that do not even exist. The practice manager was in room for the entire conversation.

Friendly, fast, honest
Dr. Upchurch was kind and honest about which moles needed to be removed and which ones were fine. I didn’t have to wait forever either, she was quick to see me, and then made sure I had no other skin concerns she could help with before leaving. Would recommend her!

Rude, never looked at my rash!!
She was One hour late. Walked in and said “what do you need?” to my son. NEVER looked at his rash. Wrote a refill on script. Spent less than 2 minutes in room. How can you write a script without looking at the condition??
