I wanted to be hopeful for this doctor, but I didn't have a great experience.
They require you to wear a mask in the office, which is perfectly fine, but then they want to charge you a dollar to provide you with a mask. That to me is kind of rude and ridiculous. Masks don't cost that much and if it's something that's required, it should be provided for free.
Getting past that, the staff was nice. The doctor, however, seemed uninterested in my situation. That was basically it. We did talk about a solution, but I felt no connection. Everything Dr. Bullock told me was something I had already learned from an internet search. I will not be returning.

Great experience. Doctor nice and listen well
December 4, 2022Serita S.Verified patient
Doctor was very patient and attentive. Took time to listen to my concerns, answered all the questions and gave detailed recommendations. There was a little bit of a wait time (about 15 mins), but nothing major and way worth it.

January 12, 2021Xiomara A.Verified patient
He seems like a decent doctor, but is very hurried. He completely forgot the chronic illness I told him I have (and that’s on my paperwork) and thought I had a different one. Other than that, seems knowledgeable enough.

April 15, 2020Andrew C.Verified patient
Dr. Bullock was great. Really professional, compassionate, and Knowledgeable. There was no wait and the staff was friendly. However, pricing explanation was unclear. I still don't know what the money I was charged was for. A breakdown of my total visit cost and what my insurance covered was not given to me.

I think my Appt went ok. I hope Dr. Bullock really listened and is focused on helping me become healthy. Hopefully the treatment plan he has me on works and hopefully the test he done gives a result rather than a vacancy.
February 6, 2017Donail S.Verified patient
Very friendly and appeared to be knowledgeable in his field. I enjoyed sitting down with him and talking about my GI health, and he gave a quick solution/answer to my issue. Will be going back.
May 17, 2016Samuel H.Verified patient

Dr. Bullock did a good job collecting information. He was through. His office was very responsive. I had a good experience overall.
November 2, 2015Elizabeth C.Verified patient
Dr. Bullock was very nice and listened to my issue. Problem was I was in severe stomach pain and Dr. Bullock refused to give me any pain medication. He did give me something to coat my stomach, but it did not help the pain. Even when we called and told him the medicine was not working for pain he still refused to give me anything for pain and I had to go to the ER to get pain treatment. Can not recommend him because of this issue.
November 19, 2015David P.Verified patient
I SO ENJOYED THE OFFICE WORKERS. THE DOCTOR TOOK HIS TIME TO TALK AND EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. HE INCLUDED ME AND MY OPINION. TOOK TIME TO EXPLAIN ALL OPTIONS. Will recommend to all my family.
