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.

Very Detailed and Compassionate
Dr. Fath is a terrific practitioner! He throughly reviews labs and makes sure you are well educated about your results and answers all your questions and concerns! His nurse Janelle is fabulous!

excellent physician!
Has been my primary care physician for a number of years. Always sees me promptly at appointment time. Spends as much time with me as I need. Very pleasant and professional staff, Janelle is great! Highly recommended for anyone needing regular physician care.

His assistant had trouble taking my blood pressure. After three tries, the last of which took less than 10 seconds, she snorted and copied the last number. Three months later I got it checked and needed an adjustment. Dr Fath, who is generally okay, did not believe me. Additionally, his office rescheduled one or two visits then wanted to charge for a missed visit. If his staff did their job, I would not have needed the visit. They also ignored my mail and just sent bill after bill, quadrupling the bill in the process.

Dr. Fath is very professional and easy to talk to. He listens and actually hears what you tell him and engages you as a patient in your treatment.

Most recently he let my 86 year old Mother leave his office with blood pressure of 160 over something. When my Mom, who lives alone, had a bad cough, a fever and some trouble breathing back in April, I called and asked him what I should do. He said that she would have to wait until she was worse and then go to the ER. I started thinking about it after we ended the call. What if she woke up in the middle of the night, so sick that she could hardly breathe - how would she call 911? She's 86 and lives by herself!!! I was not able to get there that night to look after her. I just thank God she got over whatever it was she had, quickly, and was okay. If she really did have covid - I think she may have died under his care and his recommendations. Please go to someone else better!!!

He dismissed my elderly mother’s complaints. She & I both felt that he really didn’t care about elderly patients. Fath has terrible bedside manner. He was also my doctor at one time but I found a much more compassionate doctor. I would not recommend this man.

To say the least.....awful. I will NEVER be going to this guy again. Unprofessional, lacked eye contact, asked us what “he should do”, and never went on to further investigate symptoms that were very serious. I would not recommend this so-called dr or his “nurse” to anyone. Stay away!!!!!!

Dr. Fath has been my GP for 15 years. He is thorough and brilliant, orders tests and specialists when necessary, explains everything, and never failed to visit me when I had my osteopathic surgeries. I trust him completely and have full faith in his judgement.

I just had my first app't. with Dr. Fath as my previous Dr. retired. Although this was a just a wellness check, I was able to get an appointment quickly. It is hard starting with someone new but Dr. & his staff made me feel comfortable. As a new patient, I was pleased with the time he took with me & that he answered all my concerns. His nurse and office staff are equally pleasant and helpful. I am very pleased that he will be my new PCP.

Dr. Fath went from a small town doctor working out of a little 3 room building to a bigger name company... So that being said when you would see him before he "grew" he was caring, and would take the time to listen to you. Now his new location with his new "big name" behind him he is the total opposite. I feel like its a cattle drive when I see him and all he does is push you through the door. Not taking the time he did before to help you or even show signs of concern.

Completely unprofessional, rude, ignorant. Medical Directors have been contacted regarding his complete disregard for patient and family feelings. Cannot believe some of the things that came out of this Doctors mouth! Doctor should be ashamed of his behavior! If you don't want to take care of people then find another profession.
