Patient Comments

October 23, 2018There really should be a higher number than 10 for rating Dr. Ober. He is way beyond the top when it comes to being a knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and outstanding physician. He does "his homework" and remembers every single detail about my health and my life as an individual as soon as he walks into the exam room. His friendly but professional attitude, his very active listening skills, and his ability to communicate with me on my level make every single mile of the 500 (round trip)..even during hurricane season and additional birthdays) that I drive just to see him worthwhile. He respects my right to "practice medicine" and encourages me to practice that right as an informed patient. No concern is too small and he takes time to listen and explain in ways that I can understand. Obviously, this may seem redundant as I say the same thing every year in this survey. I think one gets the picture that I think Dr. Ober is EXCELLENT!
October 15, 2018Provider does not use words that I do not understand.
August 22, 2018*Dr. Patrick Ober - Simply the best!!
August 7, 2018*Dr. Ober is one of the finest physicians I've had the pleasure of working with.
March 24, 2018Dr. Ober is always cognizant of overall care and emotional as well as physical aspects of living with chronic disease. He treats the whole patient and helps achieve balance.
February 24, 2018We drive from Tenn. to see *Dr. Ober because of his knowledge of my condition. He has done a great job getting me back on track.
