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.

Dr. Hand always explains very carefully and in terms that we can understand. Dr. Hand has helpe me with many issues and has pulled me from rock bottom. I appreciate Dr Hand for having the kindness, his professionalism and patience that he has.

No thank you if you are not going to treat veterans this clinic needs to remove it’s self from the va choice program network and quit approving appointments then refusing to see the veterans they are going to get some one killed it is very hard for a veteran to get a appointment with doctors already but playing a game like this is a shame.

My entire family has moved from the other clinics in town to this clinic. Dr. Hand is a fabulous doctor, and his nurse does a fantastic job. The office staff does an exceptional job, and I am grateful to have this clinic in Petal. I take my daughters to see them, and all the staff jokes around with them when they are feeling bad to cheer them up! I only have positives to share, and encourage everyone to visit this clinic.

Dr.Joshua Hand is the most caring, considerate physician I've had..he is attentive, takes his time to meet your specific needs.. I have been treated with the utmost respect and kindness since joining as a very sick patient.. Very hard to schedule appointments.. But the care Dr. Hand provides is worth the hassle..

Dr. Hand is a great doctor, however, he has the most rude, arrogant, uncooperative, uncompassionate receptionists, office staff, and especially his nurse. Dr. Hand is very attentive and listens to his patients, if that is, if you are even able to get to him through his rude, mean, arrogant staff and nurse. If he does not make some changes in his staff and personnel, he will not last much longer, which is sad because he is a great doctor. He just seriously needs to make some adjustments.

Dr Hand is a great Dr, His male nurse on the other hand is a bit arrogant and has no people skills or "bed side manners".
