The young lady that did my weight and took my blood pressure and information was very personable and did a great job. I think she was from England Arkansas. Doctor Ragland always sits down and spends time with me and ask me what is going on and if I have any questions or anything. He explains why he is doing what he was doing, and I feel is a asset to Saint Bernard's.. Hope he doesn't retire for a long time. (redacted)

He knows me, listens to me, laughs with me and plans my care WITH me. His interactions with me (his patients) should be studied. His word choices are intentionally chosen to be clear and respectful. He is never condescending or paternalistic. He is 10/10.
