May 27, 2026
I appreciate the care and concern that Dr Ragland gives and his nurses give.
5
May 27, 2026
The only thing I noticed. You need more office staff; there wasn't anyone checking you out. The other two ladies are busying checking people in, so there is a wait that's unnecessary.

1. The blood draw was quick and relatively painless. I wish I had asked her name so I could mention it here. 2. I had trouble hearing the recorded phone message I received asking me to confirm or cancel my lab appointment. I think it said press 1 to confirm and press 9 to cancel. Or maybe it was the other way around. Hard-of-hearing people, like me, hear the "n" sound in "one" and "nine." I could not distinguish what was being said. So I just hung up.

March 30, 2026
They need better communication with the patient. If it's emergency we should reschedule if they're going to be late. A nurse should come in and say I'm sorry for the wait time but we have technical difficulties. Sorry for the inconvenience. That's what she should've said.
5
March 30, 2026
Appointment was at 8:15am. Called back at 8:30. Doc came in at 9:15. He apologized for my wait and stated "Its Monday", which we can all relate to. I know people are busy but apologizing is a good thing to do because it let's the patient know that your time is valuable too.

The nursing student who drew my blood was one of the best. I would highly recommend her as well as all of Dr Ragland's staff.
5
December 01, 2025
I had a bad experience with the prescriptions provided by my Dr due to the person sending them to the pharmacy not listening properly. They sent the wrong script and it took me until the next day to get the correct meds. The one they messed up was the one I needed the most. As far as I'm concerned my PCP is the best in Jonesboro but some of the people working with him have little to be desired.
5
December 01, 2025
Great people and Dr Ragland is great
