Doctor Ronald Pinkerton has been our family practitioner for over 5 years. He takes the time to listen and genuinely cares for his patients. Whenever we call to make an appointment the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure we are seen. I am truly grateful to have found a great Doctor with excellent staff.

Was dismissive of my dad’s symptoms and never read nor delivered the results of blood work that could have led to the resolution of my dad’s medical condition. Told him he couldn’t figure out his ailments and suggested he pray about it instead of offering medical advice. Rarely in the office and focus on his own agenda. Frequently committed verbal secual assault to nurses and workers in his office. Terrible doctor and even worse of a human being.
