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.

One of the best lung specialists I have gone too
You don’t have to wait long. Dr Hodges listens to you. Does necessary test if you need it. Very knowable. Checks you throughly. Ask you questions that you may not think of. He is a great doctor

Guessed I had Covid
Dr Hodges guessed I had Covid. Putting me through an unnecessary test. I questioned this from the beginning . He said my lungs were clear. X-rays showed I had an infection per his nurse, no mention of the source, cause or a name for the infection. I waited over 24 hours to hear that I should pick up a prescription. While discussing the medication with the pharmacist, she indicated it was most commonly prescribed for pneumonia.

Dr Mark Hodges
Dr Hodges is very friendly and easy to talk to. He takes time explaining everything and answers any questions. He keeps up with what’s on with his patients beyond just for the reason he’s seeing them. I’m pleased with him as my pulmonologist.

5 Stars for Dr. Hodges, 3 Stars for Support Staff
Dr. Hodges is awesome. He listens patiently and explains matters in easy-to-understand terms. His diagnoses and treatments are accurate. It is not difficult to get an appointment, and wait times are minimal. That said, some of the support staff leave much to be desired. Frequently, they do not follow through with Dr. Hodges' instructions and need reminders from patients. This is not acceptable and is not something I've encountered with other doctors' support staff.
