Dr. Mark Kenneth Hodges, MD

If you are a white man, this is your doctor. If you don’t require integrity, compassion or respect- this is your kind of guy.

This person is not professional one bit. Considering the seriousness of my condition he had the nerve to tell me that if I continued living my lifestyle I would not be around much longer. Now who is he to say that? Word to the wise-make a wise choice but not him for sure.

Dr. Hodges has poor bedside manner! Rude and offensive. Doing multiple visits the comments seemed derogatory. He is demeaning to patients!!! Do not see this Dr., If you want a positive physician!!

Have extreme congestion , coughing violently for 3 days with nothing coming up. My general practitioner wanted me to see a specialist. I called the clinic to make a appointment to see Dr Hodges for the 2nd visit with him. They made me a appointment for 11:00 am. My wife had to take off from work and drive me because I was too sick to drive. We get there and the desk said they couldn’t find any appointment for me. I said y’all just gave me one 2 hr early. She called Dr Hodges nurse out, my wife told her what was going on because I was coughing to bad to speak. She came back out and said she couldn’t find the appointment THEY had just made but said I could go see the nurse practitioner. Your paying extra money to see a specialist and there going to dump you off on someone that has No more training than your general practitioner in these particular field and charge you the same money. If Dr. Hodges gave a crap about his patience he would have found a way to squeeze me in especially… since the appointment screw up was there’s. I also think his nurse is a big part of the problem here, not so sure she even communicates with the Dr. Just another Dr that the money he make is more important than his patience.

We had recently moved and were searching for a new physician. Folks in the area recommended Dr. Hodges. We found him personable, responsive to our needs and willing to accept us as new senior patients. Easy to talk to, responsive to prescription refills and appointments. We feel very fortunate to have found him.

Terrible. Staff is even worse. Apathetic and going through the motions. Go elsewhere.

I see many physicians in the Baton Rouge area but have to say seeing this physician is something I hope to never experience again. Dr. Hodges is the coldest unconcerned physician I have ever seen. I left feeling more stressed about my condition than before I went in. He was not interested in hearing the symptons I was experiencing that brought me to his office. He didn't answer my questions or concerns. I am truly baffled by the brief experience of the visit. I would never tell anyone to see him and I certainly will be looking for another pulmonary physician.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hodges for many years. I have always had a pleasant visit with accurate diagnosis and care. I like that he doesn't beat around the bush, but instead he is very point blank and he answers my questions that way.

I've been very ill twice and could not get in to see this Doctor for days. He really didn't seem to care!
