Great visit. He came in fast and got me pain medicine. I had a kidney stone and feel much better now.

I came to the hospital and thought I had Covid, he was able to test me and gave me a copy of my results so I could return to work. Thank you.

Took my husband in on Sat. Stated he had fallen from his chair and something had changed with his demeanor---coughing all night, lost all muscle use, change in personality===husband suffered from parkinsons and alzheimers and heart disease. Dr. Tubbs briefly examined, said he found no reason to keep him and left the room. I brought him in by ambulance, but a young girl brought a wheelchair and said we knew better how to "handle" him and left us. We tried to lift in 2 diff. vehicles, finally got him in. He suffered all weekend and on Monday our family dr. had him admitted thru ER. He was in heart and kidney failure. Had pacemaker put in but died within a week and half. Other doctors found what he said was not there.

I was having an allergic reaction and he gave me a breathing treatment and some IV medications that helped a lot. I felt 100% better when I left.

He is not the warmest personality, a little too business-like for me, but his medicine is Great. HE REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF. He diagnosed me with a blood clot in my leg and got me on the right medicine. I'm so much better now.

He talked to my sister and me like real people, He explained what was going to be needed with her broken foot and set her up with a great Orthopedic doctor, Dr Gerhardt. Overall a good experience.

I have a lot of medical problems that have me going to the ER all over town. It makes it hard for me to keep a job, that makes it hard for me to keep good insurance. Dr Tubbs is the same caring person, always professional, no matter if you have insurance or not. Unlike the guys over at Brookwood who only seem to treat you well after they see your wallet. Thank you Dr Tubbs for being a TRUE doctor.
