I switched doctors from Bedford Medical (which I previously reviewed) and I had a great first…read moreexperience with Dr. Dobyns. I'm not used to making appointments, as BMC was mostly walk-ins. I made a 3:15 appointment. I was taken back very shortly after I arrived. The nurse who took my temperature, weight, height, blood pressure, and oxygen levels was really nice. Once I got taken back to a room, I barely had to wait 10 minutes, and Dr. Dobyns came in. Unlike Bedford Medical, he took his time, considered all possibilities, gave me options, and accepted my assessment of what has and has not worked in the past. He is very nice, funny, and helpful. You can tell that he really enjoys his job. That's rare nowadays. My only complaint is that the times I've went, since the above review, is that if I've had multiple problems going on, he has only addressed one (or two) during a visit, making me wonder, "What am I supposed to do about the other stuff?" I guess I'll have to speak up more, if I go back. It's great that he converses with his patients about things, but he needs to listen to their medical problems first.

The office atmosphere is very old, outdated, and uncomfortable…read more The receptionist was very friendly and I only had to wait about 10 minutes. I was promptly taken back to have my vitals done. The nurse was friendly and efficient. I was led to a room where I only waited about 5 minutes for Dr. DOBYNS, who arrived with a nurse who never introduced herself..just sat in a corner. The doctor was very talkative. I only got a few words in the entire time. My issue was barely addressed but I could tell you all about his brother in Florida. .

Sadly, medical care/systems have changed over the years and there are more and more "rules" to…read morefollow that don't benefit the patient. Having spent almost 60 years working in the system, I'm incredibly sad that so many unrealistic policies are in place. And costs are unbelievable. And the system is fragmented.... your doctor won't see you in the hospital, only hospitalists so there's really no continuity,,, just shipped from one place to another and what ends up in your chart may or may not be true. SAD! Regulations don't benefit the patient... May have to consider looking for another provide.

I called back in September and made an appointment for *Johnson Health Center in Rustburg* for…read moreJanuary 3rd, only to find out today they didn't even put my appointment in their schedule. So now they are saying the next available appointment is June 18th and not even a letter from my psychiatrist would help me get in sooner. When i asked to speak with a supervisor to rectify the situation, all she said was her hands were tied and she can put me down for the next available appointment, June 18th. I declined the offer because i already don't feel like they care about me (as i explained my situation and how it wasn't my fault and that it's been requested by my mental health provider) and it's just a business trying to fill their calendar to make money.

Beautiful Experience at Johnson Health Center Dental…read more I had such a great experience today at Johnson Health Center! The two ladies at the dental check-in desk were amazing -- warm, professional, and very knowledgeable. One may have been in training, but you couldn't even tell. They both made a great first impression. Seth, the dental hygienist, was phenomenal with my 16-year-old daughter. He made her feel so comfortable and relaxed, and without even knowing it, he inspired her even more to pursue her dream of becoming a dental hygienist. She was so tuned in to the positive atmosphere and said she absolutely loved the entire experience, from check-in to care to check-out. I've been a patient of Johnson Health Center since I was a kid. While there have been ups and downs over the years, the Dental Team and the GYN/OB office continue to be exceptional, friendly, welcoming, and truly patient-centered. We felt more like family than patients. We felt heard, respected, and valued! Thank you all for what you do. Your work makes a difference, and it does not go unnoticed.

Very unpleasant experience after being a patient there for many years…read more Staff nurse shamed me for not believing in God the way she did, "especially now (with cancer) wouldn't this be a good time?". I left shamed and suicidal. Actually thoughts of driving my car T-bone style into a line of traffic at a busy stop light T intersection. "Pause when Agitated" came to mind from my 12-Step program training of 46+ years. They had not encouraged me over the years to get a 3rd colonoscopy after I had postponed it to help a friend with his recovery from addiction. Of course it's my responsibility ... But please ... Just the thing a staff nurse and doctor should note and comment about, with some enthusiasm. I'm now being treated for early stage Colorectal Cancer. I'm also looking for a new doctor's office ... Especially since they did not call me back to discuss my issues after deciding I needed to go elsewhere. I called to see if I could resume my treatments there, and they responded with "just tell your new provider to contact us for your records". Christian Bigotry at its Finest ... A Crucifix in every exam room ... Beware the Fundamentalists Christian Shaming and Negligence in level of support in your healthcare. Especially if you're 73 & Gay like me. Could be deadly.

The office was always comfortable and clean.The receptionist were friendly and efficient, greeted me with a smile, thus creating an atmosphere of calmness. Sometimes when going for a doctor's appointment can cause anxiety, so the greeting from the receptionist is important. My doctor left and became a hospitalists doctor. As of now, I am looking for a doctor. I can only say, I had the best care, no concerns or worries, my needs were met with utmost professionalism and satisfaction! I am thankful for the twenty plus years of being in the hands of good doctors!

I have always been able to get in when I have an emergency and am sick. Dr. Kleiner has kept watch over my health for years and has referred me to a specialist when necessary. The doctors there have always taken the time on a visit to get to the bottom of problems and treat them. With regard to communication, I believe they do their best and do as well as any other busy office place. I am now using my Portal to communicate better.
