Dr. Jackson, always asks me about my general health as well as any issue or questions I may have. He is very responsive and schedules blood work to check the effects of the medications I take to make sure they are working and not harming me. He has been my provider for close to 20 years and he and his staff have always done their best to handle any health issues I have.
Verified patient
He is very attentive to my issues. He does not rush in and rush out. He is engaged in conversation about my medical concerns and answers all questions. The staff is very professional and listen to me as well, even after the appointment until I leave.

Verified patient
Dr. Jackson was not as thorough as I had hoped. He didn't ask many questions or connect to well with me about my diabetes or pain symptoms. He did assure me that he would help me with my needed prescriptions.
Verified patient
He was the worst doctor ever been to he doesn't care about how we actually feel he's going to pay you no attention rondout and white strips I will never ever go back to this man he needs his license stripped
Verified patient
A little faster than most doctors which is nice.
By the time I updated my first-of-the-year paperwork that took less than ten minutes to complete, I was called by the medical assistant. The medical assistant was courteous and attentive to my concerns while making notes. Shortly thereafter I was seen by Dr. Jackson, who is keen, knowledgeable and experienced. He followed up appropriately with the concerns that I expressed to the medical assistant. After a few minutes the medical assistant returned to discharge me. My appointment was efficient, pleasant and flawless. By the way: I scheduled my appointment online with ease. (20 plus year patient)
Verified patient
The nurse or MA that initially called me back from the waiting room and also escorted me out of the office after my visit was very professional and warming. I am usually nervous when I visit the doctor but she made sure I was comfortable and she was very diligent. The PA was also very nice and listened to what I had to say. The front desk was very welcoming. The only problem was when I first walked in to the clinic the window at the Front desk was closed for some time. I wasn't sure if I should knock the window to be checked in or sit and wait to be assisted. I would recommend front desk to make sure that the window remains open from the moment the clinic opens until closing time. Other than that, everything was great I would highly recommend my friends and family to be patients here.
He addressed all my concerns and provided referrals for MRI's . He also made suggestions and recommendations for over the counter supplements that I was taking. I love the office atmosphere, the friendly staff and professionalism as well as the locations.
Verified patient
I was running behind but the doctor wasn't in. I was offered to see the nurse practitioner instead. The zoc doc information that I filled out prior to my appointment was not transferred over so I spent an additional 15 minutes filling out the paperwork again.
Verified patient
It was great , and they really listen
Verified patient
Nice clean office. Nice staff. Doctor was patient and efficient. Dr. Jackson listened. Provided the help needed. I will return. I do recommend to others.
Love his care, listens well
Verified patient
The nurse and tech were clueless to a lot of things. They were rushing in trying to take my blood. I was stuck 4 times and nothing. I was then told that I would have to go to a lab and get my blood drawn. The lab closed at 5:00 and it was 4:55. I had several questions for the doctor. He never came back in after the exam. I was given 4 prescriptions and I didn't know what they were for. The doctor nor the nurse explained anything to me. I left the office clueless! I'm looking for a new general practitioner.
Very attentive and listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable speaking to him about other issues and accepted his recommendations. I highly recommend Dr. Jackson for any medical treatments.
Verified patient
Dr. Jackson is awesome. Tell him my medical worries & he puts me at ease. Have made him my daughter's PCP because I trust him.
Verified patient
He asked about my specific condition, then followed up with any other conditions, and updated my prescriptions and scheduled a follow up to discuss lab results.
Seems to me like the Doctor has too many patients and I was not notified as a new patient that on my returning appointment I would need to be at a different office..Was not very satisfied with either of the several visits, finally have decided to find another doctor. Also the way they bill isn't fair , I should never have paid for labs but because they Make you see the Dr. on the lab day just so that they can bill for an "office visit" just seemed really wrong, for the patient. Its their right to do , but never before....
I absolutely love Dr. Ralph Jackson. He's always a pleasure to see and always in a great mood. He listens to your complaints and recommends exactly what you would need.
Verified patient
My question or concern is that I was offered to fill out a online history and questionnaire. Tis was done before I went to the office for my appt. but when I got there that information was not available for me....Whatl happened to it and why do you offer it if it is not shared information to the office...Thanks
Verified patient
Dr. Jackson and his staff seemed professional and dedicated, although it seemed they were much more interested in patients that have existing and more urgent conditions. I am not convinced this is the place for preventative medicine and regular check ups, which is what I was pursuing. This is not a bad comment, just an observation.
Verified patient
I ALWAYS left the office confused and frustrated. This is my health I'm concerned with and the office didn't seem to care. I wouldn't take a sickly, dying dog to this office. Anytime I ever tried to call the office number (they have several numbers for you to call) I NEVER got through. I always had to just show up at the office to get answers; VERY unprofessional!!!
I'm completely shocked at the wait time that I experienced. I really felt that making an appointment was pointless and I should habe just waliked in.
Verified patient
Does not follow up on blood work and hard to call in for prescriptions. Because he failed to review my blood work and notify me that I was borderline diabetic I ended up in the ICU 2 months after my visit. Worst bedside manner ever!
Had a 9:15am appt, got there and signed in. The receptionist asked me to take a seat. By 9:50am she called me to the front desk and asked "do you have an appt?" Really???? If they can't keep or find an appt I will not trust them with my medical care.
Verified patient
The visit with Dr. Ralph Jackson, was very pleasant and his staff was also, as well as very professional. For a new patient from the receptionist desk, back to the treatment area all was clean and displayed a serene, comfortable atmosphere.
Verified patient
Very nice doctor and staff!
Verified patient
Good
I didn't feel that he care about his patience. I have lupus and he didn't do anything but take blood. Never request no medical records or gave me a referral to a Rhumatogist. The only call I got was to say that my blood work was normal when I knew it wasn't.
