Dr. Southard is simply the best doctor I have ever interacted with. He is patient, listens to what I have to say, and takes a personal interest in your wellbeing. I would be reluctant to relocate if it means losing him as my doctor.

Dr. Southard admits to acquiring info about new drugs by watching TV commercials. It shows. He fails to follow up on patients with chronic conditions and must be pushed to order appropriate tests.

Dr. Southard has misdiagnosed multiple times, taken months to arrive at a serious diagnosis and keeps poor, incomplete records. He also does not maintain knowledge of reports from other doctors and admits to gaining information on new drugs from television commercials.

When my husband was dying He was there to help with anything I needed help with. He has been my doctor for about 30years. And I appreciate all he has done for me. If he is taking new patients and you need a doctor---try him and you will be satisfied.

Dr. Southard fails to read tests he has ordered and does not look at reports of doctors he has referred to. He has lost all interest in patient care. Obtaining sick or well visits is nearly impossible. Seek care elsewhere.

I've been a patient, along with my family for as long as Dr. Southard has been in practice. I've also had experience with other Drs. in Buffalo, NY & SC. Dr. Southard is the best! Most knowledgeable, best listener, best diagnostician & with a sense of humor

This is the first doctor that I can honestly say I trust - not only does he listen to you but he also explains everything so that you understand exactly what your situation is.
