His office told me he was accepting new patients and that I'd have to visit in person to complete an application, which I did. I was told they'd call me after reviewing my application. After waiting two weeks, I called to follow up and was put on hold for a long time. When the receptionist returned, she informed me that Dr Vickers was NOT accepting new patients and would not review my application. This guy touts his "Christian values." Sure, if that's poor communication and mismanagement.

Dr. Vickers is an awesome doctor. He spends the time to listen and answer the questions to his best knowledge. He has been taking care of my whole family for 7 years.. He has taken care and referred us over to the specialist that we need to see.. He is amazing with kids.. By far the BEST doctor...

Dr. Vickers is the best physician I have ever had. He is kind and he gives each patient his undivided attention, when he is with them. Every single visit he takes the time to ask not just what is wrong physically, but how I am doing in general. All my life I have suffered from "white coat syndrome" but Dr. Vickers has always put me at ease. He has such a calming and relaxing demeanor. I cannot say enough good about him.
