5
February 05, 2026
I appreciate the Dr Pace and his staff . They are attentive and interact with a high level of professional. I have also noticed ALL my interactions with other adds staff is very different from other providers. Doctors ,nurses,technicians, housekeeping ,office workers all of them never comp!ain about their employer. They come across as folk that enjoy their job and are glad to be there. I am sure that is not 100 percent of employees. But , I can attest it seems to be a majority. If you have disgruntled employees it normally shows quickly . Most likely I will come across someone that doesn't meet the standards of what I have observed . If and when that happens I hope such encounters are few and far between . I suspect it will not be a common occurrence based on what I have seen as a patient my first year.

Last year I had to use NEA Baptist for all my medical needs due to having United Healthcare. I noticed a lot of the doctors and nurses I was seeing did not have the caring attitude that I have seen with Saint Bernards staff. I felt like I was just a number to them at times and it was a rush to get me out so they could move on to the next. I opted to pay more per month this year so that I could use Saint Bernards again. I appreciate Dr Pace and his nurse (forgive me but I cannot remember her name). They are both very friendly and down to earth. They both actively listen to any questions or concerns I may have. I appreciate there time and knowledge. Thank you.
5
August 06, 2025
Stephen Pace is an amazing doctor. He is personable, knowledgeable. He is on my side. And I can't say much better than that from a doctor. All of his staff and nurses, and including the receptionist, have been nothing but kind to me, very professional, and I am so grateful to be taken care of by them all.
5
August 06, 2025

5
July 23, 2025
Y'all all did real great and I'm pleased with the doctor I see and everybody that took care of me. And I answered the wrong question. I do not, listen to all of it, I did not, do not have to go out of town or state to travel for appointments. So I don't go nowhere else but Jonesboro. Thank you, bye bye.

The nurse Erin and Dr Pace are absolutely amazing and I did not catch the phlebotomist's name but that was the easiest blood draw I've ever had. Very impressed with clopton clinic

I absolutely love dealing with St Bernards. I have had Duke, St Rose, St of Utah, Intermountain and Kaiser and felt that I had good care with them and had no complaints but St Bernards is in a category far superior to any care I have ever received.

My family is all switching over to dr pace! No disrespect to our other doctor! But pace is a good fit for our family ??now let me ask you this........ have you ever seen the movie with Clint Eastwood where the kid next door tries to steal his car? He reminds me of the priest in that movie ???
5
June 25, 2025
I am glad to see that an RN named Erin checked me in and reviewed my history. My new doctor, Dr. Pace is very professional, yet personable and warm. I am happy that I got assigned to him. He appears to be a doctor who wants to allow the patient the opportunity to help plan for the patient's treatment. Both nurse and doctor were great!

June 18, 2025
Dr Pace is nice. He was explaining things in my health file, like where I am at with the kidney disease, which I was glad of. I stay in the dark about that a lot. I've been in a lot of pain with both the fibro and arthritis. Usually I am doing better at this time of year but the last two weeks before seeing him has been two really bad weeks. I have hurt so badly i have been confined to home and a lot of it in bed which is unusual for me. I try to not go to bed with this. The arthritis where they put the last implant in my back is really bad. I would rather I hadn't had the implant. The arthritis there is worse than I was without the implant.
