Dr. Sarah Beth Holcomb, MD

I. Was okay at first then when I want home and prayed about everything she was rude and mean and I start to get a sick feeling I want my old Dr back

On my first visit, Dr Holcomb was friendly and the visit was like any other doctor appointment, although it seemed like she ran more tests than necessary. Second visit, staff was extremely rude and Dr Holcomb acted like I was wasting her time by being there. Last visit, I waited 50 mins before deciding to leave and as I was walking out, Dr Holcomb caught me in the hallway and I told her I would reschedule because I wanted to go over some test results. She proceeded to go over my test results while standing in the hallway in front of her judgmental staff which made me incredibly uncomfortable.

I went for my first PCP appointment and my blood pressure was 159/109 and she entered in the room screaming at my about being 3 min late. Never introduced herself at all needless to say I left. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

I just relocated to Arkansas and needed to establish a primary doctor in the area. She walked in the room with an attitude from the beginning and immediately asked why I was there. When I told her I needed to establish a family physician for rx refills, etc and was new to the area, she asked what meds I was taking. Other than blood pressure meds, I needed to get a rx for adderall as I have been taking it for about 8ths month b/c I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD. She was very dismissive and said she was not giving me an rx for it unless I saw a psych doc. I had explained I had already went through the whole process previously where I relocated from and could get all the records for her review. she stated that did not matter to her. I had already been without it for weeks and my work was starting to suffer. Btw, I did bring in my rx bottles with all the info on it. To sum it up, based on her comments towards me, she treated as if I was addict with a problem, which I am far… from. I understand the stigma that goes along with that medication but I am not an addict or abuse my medication. I was very insulted by how I was treated. I walked out of the room and the office. Although the staff was nice, the office should be sanctioned for several HIPAA violations since I heard an entire story about another patient including the name, her insurance, what she tests her needed done, etc at the front desk. It was not a good impression meeting my first physician in Arkansas.
