This was my first time using the urgent care option. Dr. Starnes was terrific. He entered the room smiling, greeted me with a handshake. He was an excellent communicator. Listened well, asked questions, explained x-ray findings and treatment options clearly. He is a. Asset to the team. I would give him my highest recomendarion as a doctor.

Very thorough and detailed explanation regarding my situation. Dr. Starnes is very easy to understand and doesn’t try to talk over my head. He seems very knowledgeable and willing to listen and help. Also, he doesn’t rush through the visit and accepts walk in patients which is an additional plus for this office.

“I pursued a career in medicine because I enjoy continually learning and applying science to help people live actively with fewer symptoms holding them back. My patient care philosophy centers around promoting healthy and active lives by nonoperative, minimally invasive means. I also work closely with other specialists to ensure each patient gets the optimal care they need. In my free time, I can be found mountain biking, watching one of my four children play sports alongside my wife, or at our church.” – Dr. Starnes
