  Provided extremely poor treatment for my father's cancer..., Jan 25, 2012

Dr. D. treated my dad's throat cancer (a term he never used with any of us). Dad responded very well to chemo and would have to remain on chemo the rest of his life. (His tumor in his neck had burst and he had a nasty wound that he had to deal with, but even it was doing well as he was switched to a milder chemo routine to keep the cancer from growing. And he was doing really well with that treatment.) Dad developed a knee infection and Dr. D stopped all treatment until knee doc released him. Dr. D continued to ignore my phone calls that dad's neck wound was really looking bad, saying he could do nothing for him at this time. Finally, knee doc suggested knee treatment be put on hold so cancer could be treated. So Dad went to see Dr. D and he still said there wasn't anything he could do right now, and he refused to look at his neck when asked to (of course, dad kept it bandaged). We brought dad to Louisville for treatment, but it was too late by then. The oncology doctors in Louisville were just mortified at his neck and the treatment he had received. They found it unimaginable that Dr. D. never looked at his neck (the actual cancer) and ignored his cancer treatment during the course of treatment of the knee infection (9 weeks approximately). Of course, we are heartbroken. I only tell my story in the hopes of helping someone else. In the end, dad regretted mine and my sister's pleas to get a second opinion in Louisville from the beginning. That one step could have changed everything. I hope this review helps someone make a better choice in choosing their oncologist.

  Better Plastic surgeons in Mobile, doesn't know insurance procedure, non caring..., May 17, 2012

Hard time getting a return phone call once your procedure is over with. Dr and staff are 20 years behind on covered procedures with insurance. Certainly will NOT return a phone call about insurance after your claim is denied, and will screen your calls about that matter. They charge up front, so they have their money, and could care less if you get reimbursed or not. When I was upset about having to have the procedure done, I started crying. Dr Proffitt just walked out of the room!
  this docotor is terriable, very unethical. Dont go!..., Mar 27, 2012

This doctor is not ethical. Don't go! I had my first appointment with him on March 9th, I was just going for some regular check up. I was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. and I arrived there about 9:20 since I was having difficulty finding the place. There were other 4 people waiting there already, obviously they were putting more people than they should have. The worse thing was, the doctor did not show up until 10.00 a.m. I really did not know what is the reason for them to put so many people waiting while the doctor was not even there. I waited more than 2 hours to finally get to talk to the doctor, he was cold, and gave me a lib test and told me that I would learn a result in a week. But until March 20, 2012 I have never heard back from them. So I called the office asking the receptionist what was going on. She said she would look for my file and call me back. However, after 6 hours she did not call me back. So I called her again she finally told me that On the report it said abnormal but she did not know what it is, so you need to come back to the office. Then I asked her why the doctor could not simply give me an answer about his diagnosis, she said that was their policy that the doctor does not talk to patient over the phone. Instead all patients have to go back to the office to learn that. I told her it is ridiculous because I have already paid my doctors visit fee and lab test fee, I deserve to know the answer from the doctor. But she kept repeating that is their policy, if I want to know, I have to come to this office to pay another office visit fee. I don't really mind paying, but how would anybody feel the doctor telling you that you need to pay one more time to learn your diagnosis you have paid before and you don't even deserve to know whether this is urgent or not. This is totally unethical, I would not go back to this office and I would file further complaint against them.
  Dr. Alexander at Leesville Primary in Raleigh Nc is a terrible Dr...., Mar 2, 2012

Dr. Alexander is a horrible Dr. He does not listen to your needs and has no empathy for your problems. He could care less about your symptoms and issues. He acts like he is in control and will not listen if the medication is not working. I will never go back to Leesville Primary Care again.
  great and pleasant experience and will return again...., Jan 28, 2012

I am very satisfied with the whole treatment experience.Slightly a longer wait but considering his busy practice and the outcome it was very much worth it. Much better than my previous Dr.Real wealth of knowledge,uptodate and communication
  definitely not the doctor for me or my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..., Jan 6, 2012

Judgemental, egotistical, talks down to patients. Pushes way too many medications and unnecessary tests on patients. Hard to reach during business hours, let alone not being able to reach in the evening or weekends.
