Dr.Overton was very professional. Spoke in terms that was easy for me to understand. And answered my questions in layman terms. That was easy for me to understand.

I had Dr Overton do another procedure and trusted him. I wasn’t sure this time what my diagnosis was going to be but decided to go with his guidance. I will be scheduled for another surgery. My last surgery without asking he noticed I had my prayer books with me and he knelt down and prayed with me. I was totally impressed. That surgery has been a complete success. I now have a different problem.

Dr. Overton was highly recommended by my previous doctor who was retiring! It was a great plus when I found out he was a Christian. He acted like he had a lot of people to see, but he had already done his homework so he was familiar with mine. I can tell you more after spending more time with him.

I was 10 minutes early for my appointment. I waited 25 minutes for an xray and another 10 minutes to go back to a room. My appointment started 30 minutes after it was scheduled. He was very thorough during this appointment.
