Two weeks ago I had called the on-call number for unity point and requested a provider to give me a call back regarding some symptoms I was experiencing . And DR Scott . Fackrell happened to be the on-call provider that night . And I have to say that this Dr is by far the best ! He was very respectful and had went out of his way to call in some over the counter medications for me that I could’ve easily paid for out-of-pocket . But due to Financial needs I wasn’t able to afford the medication .So DR Scott .Fackrell had called me in both medications with refills. So I want to give a big TY for your help DR Scott Fackrell . And for those of you that are looking for a doctor are in the process of switching doctors I would highly recommend DR Scott . Fackrell he by far The best doctor I’ve seen in a long time !

Dr Fackrell was the best. He was our family doctor in Antioch California but he moved away to Iowa. It was a sad day because he always knew how to fix my problems: emotional , medical. I have not found a better doctor to replace him. I want to thank him for all the help that only he could give. Thanks Dr. Fackrell.
