12/06/2024

N/A

11/20/2024

The only thing that sticks out is that it seems like the doctor has a patient quota to fill and a limited amount of time to spend with each patient. I think this may be due to strict rules for physicians set by St Als/Trinity. I remember the time in medicine when a doctor was able to take a very long time with a patient and never seemed to be in a hurry. I could very well be wrong about this. I know Dr Southard is extremely thorough, has good people skills and does a GREAT job with me. So, this comment is not about Dr Southard personally, but rather is a comment on medicine today.

11/20/2024

Dr. Southard, you make my yearly wellness exams pure joy.
