Garner Internal Medicine

Awful place. Please steer clear of this office. They're rude and hypersensitive. They take offense to being asked questions. They left me exposed to the flu and without an established anxiety med two days before a planned surgery. I've never been treated like this and this is supposed to be a doctors office.

My doctor there has always treated me very well. I have been seeing him for years for everything from yearly check-ups, high blood pressure, gout, etc. It's the little things however that are beginning to become a "large" inconvenience, but even that is a mixed bag. Until recently, I had rather slam my hand in a car door than try to get them on the phone. While that has improved the last two or three phone calls, other things have not improved. One thing that has not improved is quality and accuracy of communication. I have repeatedly asked that ALL my medications be on the 90 day refill plan. Somehow, that does not stay on their radar from one series of refills to the next...which causes an untold amount of backlash when I try to straighten it out each time with extended phone calls to all entities involved. The other thing that is a big problem for me is that they close early every Friday. When it's all said and done, I'm not as happy now as I have been in the past with the total picture. I have been with them long enough that I hate the thought of starting to look elsewhere for a replacement, but it can happen.

Staff & Dr. Mayer can be Rude at times..Dr. Mayer is so callus as to the point of INSULT...Not known for 'any' Bedside manner..TOO Blunt....

Be careful who you see here

I started seeing Dr. Turner back in 2000 and was very happy with him. In recent years the attention to care seems to have dropped but I figured it was just that they were getting so many new people. Even with this I recomended my wife make an appointment with one of the doctors there. She had a full exam by the woman doctor, I believe her name is Mayer, and she ordered a mamogram. the scan revealed a lump that the radioligy doctor said should have a biopsy. He said he would call it in to the doctor and if she did not call that afternoon my wife should call her in the morning. Well no call came and my wife called and was told to leave a message and they would get back to her. They finally called back in the afternoon after they closed and a nurse left a message saying that she just found the message and did not know what my wife needed but hoped it wasnt important and call back monday because they were leaving.

I have never met this Dr. Mayer and hope I never do. I don't condem the the whole practice for her crude and uncaring practices. I do know that we have to wait though the weekend now to find out when they can do the biopsy, extending the amount of time we have to wait to see if its cancer. Its obvious to me that her patients are not her first priority.
