Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Charles Secrest consistently receives exceptional praise for his clinical expertise, interpersonal skills, and patient-centered approach. Patients repeatedly describe him as highly knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled in his field, with many stating he is "the best" and noting that people travel from across the country to see him. His bedside manner stands out as a major strength, with reviewers emphasizing that he is caring, compassionate, kind, and personable. Patients appreciate that he takes time to listen carefully to their concerns, explains procedures and conditions thoroughly in understandable terms, never rushes appointments, and makes them feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues. Many note his professionalism combined with a warm, friendly demeanor that makes patients feel valued rather than just "the next in line." His staff also receives consistent praise for being helpful, courteous, and professional.

Patients also share

Wait times emerge as the primary concern across multiple reviews. Several patients report waiting 45 to 75 minutes or longer beyond their scheduled appointment times, with one patient noting they arrived 30 minutes early for a 1:00 PM appointment but didn't see Dr. Secrest until 2:44 PM. While patients acknowledge he is very busy and understand that unexpected issues arise, some express frustration about the lack of communication regarding delays. One review mentions that Dr. Secrest has excellent skills but does not follow up after surgery. A single review describes him as having a "horrible bedside manner" and being prone to "fuss and question" during procedures, though this stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming majority of feedback praising his interpersonal approach.
