Dr. Robert Holmes Jr, DO

I had to wait over 6 months for my first appt and then about a week out, he decided to take that day off which pushed my appt our another 3 months. In our first appt, he was very thorough and I was very encouraged that he'd be able to help me. The second appt he wasn't as engaged and the appt felt more rushed. I forgot to ask if he would renew one of prescriptions so I sent a message through their portal. His assistant said she would check and responded later that he would send it over that afternoon. Ten days later and several reminder messages (I was leaving on vacation so was wanting to have all my meds), his assistant told me that he changed his mind and wouldn't prescribe my med. I asked to speak to him directly and he blew me off. He wouldn't even talk to me about why or what changed his mind. To this day, I still don't know. I recommend finding a different doctor over Dr. Holmes if you like a dr that will communicate with you and listen to you.

I saw doctor Holmes for about 6.5 years. At first he seemed to be really great and was very helpful. However the last 2-3 years things weren’t great. He was preoccupied at my appointments and started to become rude to me. I had two children in the time I was going to him and after my second child I was having a hard time with my weight as well as my condition was getting worse. He started to really harp on my weight. Granted I knew if I could loose weight it would be helpful but I had just had a child and was one month postpartum. I had postpartum depression also so his insults about my weight really hurt my feelings. My last and final appointment with him was horrible. I cried coming out of the office I even had to sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes to get myself together. If he wasn’t so rude and approached me a little differently I might would still be his patient but I’m sorry his words hurt and I had to leave. I hope he’s better with patients than before.

I enjoyed talking with this Doctor so much. he listened to me and didn't mind answering all of my questions. A breath of fresh air in this time of hurry up and see the next patient.i felt valued and cared for. thank you so much for th compassionate concern

Dr Holmes spent our time together staring at his laptop. I assumed he was looking at my lab work and leaned in to see. He was looking at the weather. On another visit he showed me pictures of a vehicle he had bought rather than discussing me or my concerns. Once in the 3.5 years that I have been seeing him he held out his hands in front of me. I seriously didn’t know why. So I said”what?” He wanted to see my hands. That was the first time he ever examined my hands even though I told him every visit that they were worse. He said to me “ wow, I think you’re getting worse.” I couldn’t even speak. On another visit he discussed tropical parasites and rare diseases that though interesting, had nothing to do with my diagnosis. I really can’t afford to keep paying and not get any better. I’ve gotten worse each year. I’m seeking help elsewhere.

My first and only appointment with this Dr. was awful. When I told him my grandma had scleroderma, he retracted his lips, stiffened up and made hands claw like. Very unprofessional and completely out of line. Needless to say I was very offended and would not recommend this Dr to anyone.

Dr Holmes is amazing. So caring, listening to my concerns and addressing them in a meaningful manner. Diagnosed my problem after 20 years of problems. Also available for same day, acute care.Thanks, Doc.

I have never seen a doctor the caliber of Dr Holmes. I trust this man with my life. He is an absolutely brilliant diagnostician and will not stop until he gets to the bottom of things. He is kind and patient along with being brilliant... What a rare combination! This area has a rare gem in Dr Holmes! I could search the world over and never find another doctor of his equal.

Dr. Holmes listens and addresses all issues and seems genuinely concerned about my health. He takes the affordability of my medications into consideration. I feel that I am getting quality care for my RA and related health conditions from him and his staff and would highly recommend him.

He is a great Dr that is not afraid to tell you what some of the other problems could be along with your actual issue. It took me a couple of visits to adjust to that but then I realized how true it was and he helped in that area as well.

Dr. Holmes takes a very special interest in my continuing progress. Before consulting with Dr Holmes other physicians would not take the time to try to find an answer to my problems. He does a lot of testing and is determined to find answers. I have recommended him to family and friends as we are lucky to have someone of his caliber practicing in our area.
