Dr. Sarah Beth Holcomb, MD

I have been going to DR Holcomb for 5 plus years. She cares about her patients. I trust her with all my medical needs

I truly wish I had read these reviews before I made the choice to go to this doctor, Sarah Holcomb. I’m 63 years old, an outdoor construction worker, as well as run livestock. I went in for blood sugar problems. She told me that the only thing wrong with me was anxiety and a follow-up with a psychiatrist. She gave me a Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular exercise. I explained to her that I knew the difference between anxiety, a PTSD attack, and a panic attack. I had seen enough psychiatrists back when I was younger to know the difference—keyword: younger. Twenty-five years ago, I was misdiagnosed by a doctor who said I was bipolar and put me on bipolar medicine. It made me suicidal. I put myself in an institution to be reevaluated. They found out that I was NOT bipolar and that I had complex PTSD, took me off the meds, and I never had a problem since. But I go into this woman for blood sugar crashes, and I leave only to find out she’s put on my medical record that I have previous… psychiatric institutionalization. Now I can’t get a doctor to take me seriously with my blood sugar crashing. I had one office tell me I’m going to have to get a power of attorney to get my medical records now…! I am of sound mind. I have never been found mentally unfit! NEVER! And now I’m literally bedridden since my last visit with her from fatigue and blood sugar crashes. Never once did she ask me about my work ethics or my daily routine. She wouldn’t even let me tell her my symptoms. She was extremely rude, short, and dismissive. The only reason why she checked my pancreas is because I said my son requested it. I am of sound mind. I am a grown woman, and to be told it’s all in my head and that I just don’t eat properly is way past appalling. But then I politely requested that she correct her medical record error because it was interfering with my prior doctors. She said it was absolutely not happening. It is what it is. People, you walk into this doctor expecting medical help, only to find out that you have been mentally evaluated and diagnosed as if you were just stepping out of an institution. You might as well call it quits. If you ever decide to go get a carry license, that’s over for you. If you ever decide to do anything serious in life, that’s over for you. That one stroke of a pen, she can mess your whole world up for the rest of your life. Now you’ve been told. If you go and it happens to you, you cannot say I did not tell you. What this woman done was beyond malice!!!

I. Was okay at first then when I want home and prayed about everything she was rude and mean and I start to get a sick feeling I want my old Dr back

On my first visit, Dr Holcomb was friendly and the visit was like any other doctor appointment, although it seemed like she ran more tests than necessary. Second visit, staff was extremely rude and Dr Holcomb acted like I was wasting her time by being there. Last visit, I waited 50 mins before deciding to leave and as I was walking out, Dr Holcomb caught me in the hallway and I told her I would reschedule because I wanted to go over some test results. She proceeded to go over my test results while standing in the hallway in front of her judgmental staff which made me incredibly uncomfortable.

I went for my first PCP appointment and my blood pressure was 159/109 and she entered in the room screaming at my about being 3 min late. Never introduced herself at all needless to say I left. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

I just relocated to Arkansas and needed to establish a primary doctor in the area. She walked in the room with an attitude from the beginning and immediately asked why I was there. When I told her I needed to establish a family physician for rx refills, etc and was new to the area, she asked what meds I was taking. Other than blood pressure meds, I needed to get a rx for adderall as I have been taking it for about 8ths month b/c I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD. She was very dismissive and said she was not giving me an rx for it unless I saw a psych doc. I had explained I had already went through the whole process previously where I relocated from and could get all the records for her review. she stated that did not matter to her. I had already been without it for weeks and my work was starting to suffer. Btw, I did bring in my rx bottles with all the info on it. To sum it up, based on her comments towards me, she treated as if I was addict with a problem, which I am far… from. I understand the stigma that goes along with that medication but I am not an addict or abuse my medication. I was very insulted by how I was treated. I walked out of the room and the office. Although the staff was nice, the office should be sanctioned for several HIPAA violations since I heard an entire story about another patient including the name, her insurance, what she tests her needed done, etc at the front desk. It was not a good impression meeting my first physician in Arkansas.
