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.

If I could give zero stars I would! This is the most unprofessional man I think I have ever come across! His office is not wheelchair accessible. What?! I have never been to a MD's office that was not wheelchair accessible! They asked me to wait outside while they saw a wheelchair bound patient in the LOBBY! He walked out on me during my appointment and carried on a conversation with the door open and all of the clinic hearing the info. Straight up HIIPPA violation in my books. I would NEVER recommend him and would actually warn everyone I can to stay away from the place and this truly unprofessional man. He should not even have a medical license and I am thinking very seriously about reporting him to any and all governing bodies I can! STAY AWAY!!!

I’ve been seeing Dr Sumner almost a year now & he is the BEST! His entire staff goes above & beyond to listen to patients & help however they can - Because of Dr Sumner I can actually live life & funtion now which I had not been able to do since a car accident in June 2016! There are not enough words to express how thankful I am to this fantastic Dr. He GENUINELY listens & cares about his patients!

I find Dr. Sumner to be kind, attentive, and very thorough. I know he listened to my symptoms, and proceeded according. Highly recommend this Doctor. Staff are friendly and offices are neat and clean.

An Ego that can't get beyond itself! He is the smartest man in the room! He's too busy talking about his neurotic family to give you any time! Needs evaluated by Board of Medicine to see his selfish disregard for patients. Orders expensive tests he can charge to your insurance then lies about results & won't disclose to you! Took me off serious pain meds I'd been on for 15 years. They are all that kept me walking! Cold Turkey like that can kill you!! Wouldn't trust to treat my DOG! STAY AWAY!!!

They march known addicts thru like cattle, over prescribing opiates like candy! He was fired from the VA Hospital in Muskogee for incompetence, ordering unnecessary, expensive tests & then lying to his patients about results! A low budget operation that is a danger to the community. His license should be revoked!

He listens to his patients, and treats them accordingly. Hard to find a Doctor like him! He is a great clinician. Have seen several Doctors for my problems and he is my primary, and has encouraged me to keep looking, for someone to diagnose my problems and they are not "imangined".
