The building inside had dirty ceiling tile from a water leak. Dirty carpet in hallways A little I think inexpensive repair would help tremendously. This is a medical office

I was treated with really good respect. I was taken right back because it was a heart problem and they didn't waste no time getting me back. They all treated me with respect and I like it. So thank you all for being so good and have a nice day. Thank you.

I carry nitro glycerin, have palpitations and chest pain. He said everything is fine except my cholesterol and gave me a medicine known not to work. I'll try it again for another year if there's no change, again. I'll seek medical attention in Little Rock. I need potassium and magnesium and all the vitamins to supplement for the irregular heart beats that appear to be invisible to you. My pot and mag was low last labs but nothing prescribed for them to improve. I've been team St Bernard's until the heart cath and now this incident. I have to go to ER if my sugar drops below 70 and Ive been in a wreck

I remarked to my husband after my visit how nice and friendly everyone was and that that makes having to see a physician for health issues so much easier.

I think that everything should have been done on that visit, I had an ekg and had to make another appointment to schedule walking on the treadmill. I think this was unnecessary another visit another fee. I feel this takes advantage of the patient and their insurance provider.

My experience has been less than ideal. During checkout, I had to ask about a test the physician wanted scheduled. After a brief call to the physician, it was confirmed and the test scheduled. However, I have called three times to request that her medication be called in. Each time, I was assured it had been taken care of, but it was not. I will most likely be transferring her to a facility that is more efficient and quality driven.

I have seen Dr Hallak as a patient and a co worker for many years. He is kind, professional, calming and concerned. His facilities at Paragould should be updated and neater to match his professional stature.

Well, it's mostly answering the call. Every time I called, they was right there if I had to go to the bathroom. And they had real good food, and they brought their plates on time. They didn't wait till two or three o'clock. They brought it just maybe just a little before twelve. We enjoyed it. So that's all.

Huge shout out to St. Bernard's for taking wonderful care of me these past couple of weeks! After about a month of trying to pass a kidney stone on my own (not an unusual thing for me) I decided to go to urgent care on Red Wolf. The APRN and staff were so kind and made sure I was evaluated thoroughly and quickly. A CT scan showed that I wouldn't be able to pass this one on my own, being that it was 8mm in size. Every single person I came into contact with in the ER was kind and compassionate while prepping me for surgery # 1. Dr. Jacobs was so attentive to my needs and requests, and made sure that I was able to adequately control my pain while still being able to work. My friends at Cardiology associates so graciously worked me in for cardiac clearance so I could proceed with further treatment quickly, and it was great to see some familiar faces. Fast forward to yesterday's surgery # 2, and I received equally phenomenal treatment from the nurses and staff in one day surgery, as well as the OR team. Anesthesia was so attentive to my needs and made sure I was very well taken care of. So thankful to now be stone (well, obstructing stone anyway) and stent free. Special thanks to Dr. Jacobs, Dr. Clayton, my CRNA (cannot remember his name) my preop nurse and tech (cannot remember names) and Jeff in the OR.

I didn't feel like my doctor wanted to redo my test since I changed my diet and vitamin, mineral and herb intake to see if there had any improvement on my cholesterol and circulatory system. I feel like I've had some improvement in myself and I wanted to do the test again to see if I absolutely needed the stint surgery.
