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.

The best comprehensive checkup for my health. He is a great listener and cares deeply about his patients. The office staff is fantastic as well.

I highly respect Dr. Quarles and his opinion.
I recently called him about severe abdominal pain. After answering a few questions, he advised me to go to the er for a scan. An appendectomy soon followed. So glad he was immediately available.

Dr. Quarles is a thoughtful, thorough, compassionate physician that we have trusted for our family's medical care. As a former practicing physician, i do not pass out that level of accolades lightly. Moving to his practice was the best decision we have made for our health and wellbeing.Dr. Quarles staff is second to none in their effort to meet all our needs - from last minute rescheduling, forwarding medical records, and concern for our health.

My health is 100% better thanks to Dr. Quarles!
The quality of care and knowledge he provided is the best in the area. I am so grateful for his continued health care. After seeing two other doctors in the area that were more concerned about my “feelings”, Dr. Quarles addressed my health issues and now my health is 100% better!

My husband & I are so happy to have Dr. Quarles as our physician. He is very thorough, and he always has time to talk with us about any health issues we may have. He is a very concerned and compassionate physician & we trust him implicitly. Also, he is only a phone call away & that is very comforting & reassuring. His nurse, Rita, is also kind, caring & professional & a great asset to the doc. We would definitely recommend Dr, Quarles to family & friends. Wonderful practice!

Was my Doctor for at least 10 years before going to MDVIP, I cheaped out and left. Sorry pickings out there after you’ve had Dr J D Quarles, I ponied up and joined up!, worth every bit. He answers my calls, text almost immediately, it’s scary! Always has your health and mental wellbeing in mind. The scores here don’t go high enough for JD! Doctors Day is for Dr Quarles period! Carey
