We had a scare with my wife's kidneys and we are still as little scared but they have assured us they have always explained everything how to prevent how to slow down and how to do things that we just didn't even know existed and they are very very persistent and very very helpful I'd recommend this place for anyone who needs it.

This is my second review for the Spartanburg office. My husband is a patient with Dr. Varma ( who is great ) and he has to go in regularly for blood work and see Dr Varma. Husband does not like needles at all but we want to give a big shout out to Chelsea who took his blood and he never even knew she was finished. She also got him ready for his appointment with the doctor and helped him as he had a bad coughing spell. She is such a wonderful person, so sweet and kind. All the staff there is so kind.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share another kind review—we truly appreciate your continued trust in our Spartanburg office!

We’re so glad to hear that your husband has had such a positive experience with Dr. Varma and our team. We understand that blood work can be especially stressful for those who aren’t fans of needles, so it means a lot to know that Chel-C was able to make the experience so smooth and comfortable for him. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her—she will be thrilled to hear them!

It’s also wonderful to know that her care and attentiveness during his coughing spell made a difference. Providing compassionate, supportive care is always our goal, and feedback like yours reassures us that we’re on the right track.

Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for recognizing our team—we’re grateful to care for you both!

There's so many thingswrong with this place. I needed to know about a test I was scheduled for because it used die. Last week they told me the NP that was my ',doctor' was down to a couple days a week. They would contact him snd call me. Didn't get that call so I called them back this week. He's not in this week either. Now I'm being told that he's back next week. They transferred me and said that she believed that it would be okay for me to take the test. She wasn't a nurse or a doctor but she 'thought' that it would be okay. I think he left but they won't give you a straight answer. For what it's worth my advice is don't go here at this location on Mills Avenue

Love the doctor my mother sees, but as far as office management and staff....negative. I have been very nice and polite for weeks. Trying to get things straightened out with my mothers medicine. Im done being nice. No one seems to know what's going on. I have been in communication for weeks attempting to a rx application submitted to a pharmacy financial drug program. The pharmacy continues to state they have not received it. I was advised last week by the office. That her application would be faxed again. However, as of today pharmacy still has no application. So, I'm assuming since no one seems to able to complete a simple task nor provide any type of confirmation that it has been sent. We'll expect to receive her medication for this year through continous samples from the office. Heaven forbids you run out of samples. Then I assume a rx will be sent to a local pharmacy on the offices dime. Cause it sure isn't coming out of these pockets. When the office received the application and was to submit it. Im pretty certain other patients from your office are in the same or a similar drug program. As this medication is very expensive and we can not afford it. Hence the purpose of being in the program to being with. Terrible way to run a business and even worse, being a medical office. Supposedly caring for patients....yikes!! Why would anyone want to deal with this mess, and have to go back and forth with people? Your less than 4 star rating speaks boldly for itself. DO BETTER

The doctors from my experience are very efficient, Dr. was very kind & informative with hope of fixing my medical problems in near future. The answering service & nurses not so much, very disorganized, no communication between the facilities team. Scheduled emergency biopsy with no communication & farthest thing to informative to me THE PATIENT, 1.) Was told I’d receive a email. I MYSELF call 3 hours later (They didn’t even have my email but-then again decided not to call and ask, just dropped it like oh the patient will call again or I’ll find this patients email? Then read my email back to me twice it’s wrong on three separate calls wrong after me even spelling it out with alphabetical words..?? Like what’s the struggle. Call again (still not received) they read it to me WRONG again. Flabbergasted at this point. Then can’t “email” suddenly & nothing they can do to help me further? Negligence. Couldn’t send info needed for the biopsy leading everyone in blindly including the medical team. Very rude & unnecessary commentary shared over the phone-while me the patient is in the bed at hospital getting ready for an high risk procedure- after attempting to speak with them for 4 days. It’s like instead of dealing with something (they obviously didn’t know how to do- it turned to avoidance) Way to cause pain & suffering ontop of unneeded stress 👍🏻 no wonder Easley’s office is tucked hidden away.

Meet with Charis NP. On a virtual visit. I did not feel like she was very welcoming or friendly. She had a hard time hearing me.she answered my questions but I felt like I was getting on her nerves everytime I would ask for clarification. This is my health and I will get clarification if I don't understand something. I just felt like she could have been more nicer and showed more interest in me as a patient. There was no thank you. Or hope you get to feeling better. I do not feel like she was genuinely interested in me as a patient.

Very nice staff. Doctor Alioua was very kind. Informative and explains problems very well. He ask before he proceeds with certain test. He can pick up on you being very anxious during this trying time. That showed me he is caring and compassionate. Seems to be well qualified.

Extreme lack of compassion. The rating grid should allow 0 stars or below 0. Would not recommend dr Christopher to anyone. In all my years in my career I have never seen a physician so full of themself that they can't listen to someone's questions about the decison they made about a patients treatment. She demonstrates no empathy towards the patient or their family members. Has absolutely no compassion about her role as a physician. If you question her judgment she interrupts you rudely and refuses to listen and answer questions especially if you have experience in the field of nephrology guess she doesn't like someone who knows she screwed up and can point it out. Her phone constantly rings and was very unprofessional considering you were supposed to be having a family meeting about the patients deteriorating condition. My advice to anyone referred to her to run! Or request another physician bc you will not get the compassion, respect or care you deserve from her. Hopefully she has a life changing epiphany that allows her to see people as human beings and not just a number on her chart and changes her practices.

The last two times I've been here some of the nurses took another patient before me because they were waiting for my insurance company to answer the phone when my appointment was before that person. Just experience a bad conversation with Dr. Blake Shusterman who talked to me as if I were one of his kids. Which I sure as he'll didn't appreciate so being the better person I walked away.

Labs take forever to be posted or received. I was admitted to a hospital where this group was assigned to me. They assured me I was fine, when actually I was in kidney rejection. This group is not at all on top of patients situations.

Dr. Ward is a very thorough physician with a good bedside manner and more patience than most specialists. He listens to my questions and concerns, then answers without being condescending or talking down to me. I have had doctors who spoke to me like I was a child, nearly spelling everything in simple terms, and other doctors who spoke to me as though I were a colleague, using far too many complicated medical terms, and sounding like they used another language. Dr. Ward is a nice cross between the two types, speaking with awareness that I am an adult with a basic knowledge of medical terms but no degree. His greatest asset, however, is an obvious concern for his patients' health and well-being.
