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.

This doctor cares and is very thorough!
While in his care I felt assured that he truly cared about my well-being and he is very attentive to you. I am allowed to ask questions and he explains everything in layman's terms so you get it. He also has the best receptionist around, Ms Carol.

Zero trust
His follow-up and communication is nonexistent. Didn’t call with issues about hospitalized father-in-law and never called me back after assuring me he would. I have zero confidence and trust in him as a result. I’d give him zero stars if I could.

Terrible service. They absolutely NEVER answer the phone when you call. You can leave a message and it may take 3 days for them to call you back. If they do at all. But when in the office, the nurse/receptionist is always on the phone. Once they called to reschedule an appointment less than an hour before arrival. I think the Dr. may be OK. Staff is a joke.

I have been a patient at Hendricks Family Practice since they came to Decatur! There is no other Practice I would use for my Primary Care. They saved my life! They are constantly studying and learning. I LOVE Them!!

Terrible staff, terrible service and a Dr who limits how many medical problems you can bring to him at one time. In the history of medicine this is unheard of. If I pay my co pays and happen to have multiple issues (as many humans do) I expect to have them all dealt with in the same visit within reason. Because of his "rule" I have had many problems resulting from not testing the areas I told him about when having pains there.

He tries to fix the problem instead of covering it up with meds.
