- January 5, 2023 Overall, I "think" he is a good doctor. What matters the most he listens and when he does not have an answer to my questions, he does not try to pretend he know, he says, he's not sure. His attitude "seems" genuine. I can spot unreal and I do not like phonies, I terminate phonies. Hate, hurtful, and dislike can beeasily hidden, so if he is a fake, he does a great job pretending, but at this moment I am content and pleased with him as a doctor. I could say more about other experiences at other places but I will end conversation because we are speaking on Davie location. Have a great day and Happy New Year!

- December 31, 2022 Dr. Powers! He never made you feel like he was rushed even though we know he was a busy doctor. He listened! Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist is very fortunate to have a doctor like Dr. Powers! If all doctors had 1/2 the bedside manner and compassion that he showed to me, the medical world would be much better. You were not treated like a number with Dr. Powers but a person! By acting quickly and removing1/2 of my toe that an aggressive infection had invaded, he saved my foot. He did surgery after his day should have been over. Plus he made a special trip to Davie Hospital on a Friday evening late after a long day of surgery. Just to make sure my toe was ok to go home before Christmas!
