I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Dr. Ann Herron at Southern Kidney Specialists by my…read morePCP and I love was extremely impressed with her! I was initially referred to Dr. Karam at Nephrology Associates after meeting him during a hospital stay after going into kidney failure due to kidney stone complications and was very unhappy with him. Dr. Karam made me feel like a number and rushed me out of my initial appointment instead of taking the time to sit an explain my situation or discuss any type of treatment plan. My initial visit with Dr. Herron was a completely different experience and I was extremely happy with the entire process. It was easy to schedule an appointment, her staff was friendly, I was seen quickly, and Dr. Herron made me feel like she actually cared about me. She took the time to answer all my questions, explained my situation so I was able to fully understand everything, and started me on a treatment plan to maintain my kidney function. I highly recommend Dr. Ann Herron!!!

Finally I search and find a the Path lab. Call lab, have't heard of me of Dr Studdard's office. Call Dr Studdard's office, it is in the "system". I leave work and go to lab.

Oh and if I need my records, I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to pick them up. Thanks a lot!

She listens to any concern and takes plenty of time to discuss any questions that I may have and I have never not once being in her care ever felt rushed or dismissed.

I am not a fan of doctors and spent decades steering clear (home remedies, duct tape on bad wounds etc.) of them until I had my first visit (she came highly recommended from a podiatrist) due to extreme gout pain I had been dealing with for years, A dr. who actually talks to you getting to know you and your issue(s) and explaining the different ways you can attack to cure/treat. This is how it should be done. EVERY dr. in this country should be booking a visit as a patient with Dr. G and learning this is what patients deserve. I would go to the ends of the earth for these two women due to how much better I feel today both physically and how that has made me feel mentally. It is very rare to come across people you meet that you have true great respect for how they go about their jobs, and I feel lucky to have become a patient of Dr. Gannon's.

Her communication style felt impersonal and dismissive, and a comment she made -- that she could not trust patients' accounts of their own medical history -- was particularly discouraging.
