Dr Roat is new to this practice, but he has been my doctor for 22 years through many problems related to Shingles in my right eye. He always remains calm pleasant and reassuring. There has never been a time that he did not promptly return a phone call. His staff have all been professional and friendly.

Dr. Roat has, as usual, his always pleasant and friendly demeanor. At my appointment yesterday, he even answered questions I had about my seriously ill wife, who is also his patient. This may sound trivial, but, not long ago, I had a very unpleasant visit with a PCP (after which I switched). All I did was ask if I could ask one quick question about my wife (also a patient), And the doctor got angry about wasting her time. Since I changed doctors, I have no such trouble with my new PCP. And I never have any problems with all our other doctors, whom my wife and I share. At our age, we both have several doctors.
