The doctor was a no call no show, I found out 10 minutes after being there and filling out paperwork that the doctor is isn't in the office and won't be seeing me. They knew before I arrived but chose not to call me to let me know. This was my first appointment meant with a new doctor. I do not recommend.

Dr. Pearson is a diamond in the rough. It’s hard to find a great doctor who is patient, listens, throughly explains his diagnosis, recommendations, and why.
Having a psychiatrist background was a pleasant surprise because he was able to refill those meds.
One of the best doctors I’ve seen in my life and will highly recommend him.
January 9, 2026Devin H.Verified patient
Dr. Pearson had availability, whereas multiple Doctors within my network, zip code, and beyond did not have availability for a simple procedure which everyone else had a wait time to schedule 3 to 6 months out for. I'm so grateful for Dr. Pearson's availability, ability, and kindness in helping me receive medical care so I can stay on track with my health. I'm free to continue follow up care now. What a gift!

I found a great new Doc! As soon as we met, he was attentive to the story of my health journey and asked very pertinent questions. I feel as if I'm taking another big step forward to optimize my health both physically and mentally. Dr. Pearson was equally curious about my mental health as well as physical. I'm looking forward to getting the treatment and care that I deserve. I'm grateful.

Clean office and wonderful listener
September 3, 2025Bryan S.Verified patient
Parking is almost non-existent. Verify with the receptionist where you can park or your car will be in danger of being towed.
The appointment was quick and professional. The doctor did not cut corners and spoke clearly and directly. The doctor also answered all my questions and concerns.

The overall experience was 1/10.
When we booked Dr. James Pearson, that's who we thought we were getting, instead we recieved Gale Lawrence. She was extremely rude, unprofessional, and unprepared. We even made sure to the call the office 4 days before to ensure everything was scheduled and ready to go.
Long story short, the experience was awful. We paid our copay BEFORE service was administired. The office didn't have our files, and Gale Lawerence had zero respect and empathy for my family. 100% would NOT recommend.
August 14, 2025Emersyn C.Verified patient
I had an amazing experience during my visit! The doctor was incredibly personable, listened to all my concerns (even the ‘crazy’ ones!), and provided thoughtful solutions with clear follow-through. I never felt rushed, which is so rare these days. The front desk lady (I’m so sorry I forgot her name!) was also super sweet and made the experience even better. Thank you so much for such excellent care and service!

Fact based doctor that does the most important thing and listens to the patient's description and experience to determine the proper treatment.
November 9, 2024Rodney B.Verified patient
I never heard from the Dr. I called his office after 30 minutes and spoke with a receptionist. She asked if I wanted for him to call after I told her just cancel.
I asked how long and she said 15 minutes. I waited again another 30 minutes and no call.
