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.

Love this physician! He is very intuitive with his patients. He reviews prior visits with patients and follows up with them. He is very polite and respectful. He makes his patients feel important and that their opinion matters. His staff is always polite and professional as well. I recommend him to anyone.

Nobody likes going to the doctor. I especially hate it, but guys like Willard make it tolerable, and even a little enjoyable. Willard wants to get you better, and he listens quietly even when you’re telling him what he probably already knows. I appreciate his willingness to let you talk and explain the best you can. Obviously his knowledge as a P.A. can’t be beat either. Can’t recommend this guy enough.

The wait to be seen was short. Willard was very courteous, thanking me for my patience concerning the delays in appointment due to the Covid rescheduling. He was thorough asking about my previous issues, answered my current questions and scheduled me for routine labwork at my earliest convenience. I always feel I'm in good hands in his care.

Mr. Beard is my PCP. On this visit I came to him for a second opinion on a health matter. He intently listened to my questions and concerns. He also was not bothered by my knowledge of the health issue at hand. We together worked on a solution.

Greatest bunch of people in the world. Mr. Beard is very patient and takes the time to talk to you and listens to what your concerns are. Refers to any other specialist that he feels is necessary. Always very quick to get me in to see him. I would highly recommend Rapides Physicians Group in Pineville to all my friends and family.

Last year my wife and I had to change our PCM. We loved and respected her the care she gave us. Before moving out of state she referred us to Mr Beard. At first, naturally we weren’t crazy about this change because we missed our previous doctor but after a visit or two Mr Beard has shown to provide that same outstanding personal care we were use to. My last visit he listened to my need and provided a preventative plan to help keep me healthy. Being a cancer patient that meant very much to me.
