compassionate, friendly doctor who takes time to explain options thoroughly to patients. Whomever wrote that Dr Pickrell makes inappropriate remarks to female patients is simply engaged in character assassination and not telling the truth.

I came to Dr. Pickrell from Dr. Tew's office. Dr. Pickrell took the time to talk to me about medications/issues etc... Dr. Tew just wanted to throw more drugs at me without really taking into consideration my problems. Dr. Pickrell listened to me and kept an open mind about trying new things and less serious drugs.

Dr. Pickrell is fantastic! My case was one where it looked like I had Lupus that came on really strongly at 1st, but then never flared up again. I came to Dr. Pickrell from Monty Tew's practice wanting a fresh view on my status and some honesty about what he thought might really be going on with me. Last time I saw Pickrell back in February of 2011, I had been off my Lupus meds since June 2009. He said I was a miracle patient and that he didn't want to see me back unless I have any more problems. He even wrote a note to my insurance provider stating that I have been free of symptoms and off my medication with no complications whatsoever. May not get me off their blacklist, but I appreciate that he really took the time to investigate my situation and justify my feelings that my diagnosis was very atypical to my non-existent symptoms. Thank you Dr. Pickrell!

Dr Paul Pickrell is fabulous. He really speaks to me, his patient, not above me or around me. He listens to patients, takes approiate actions based on individual patient, and closely follows up when taking a new medication. He prescribed various medications and when the desired affect of a new medication did not work well, he went "up the chain of medications" until the "right" medication for me was found and is working well. He followed mandated insurance steps in prescribing (less costly medications), but now I am on one of the bio-engineered injection meds for rheumatoid arthritus. He has no problem dealing with the insurance company to justify the medication, regardless of the cost. I really have appreciated him over the 5 or so years I've been his patient, he is a very warm, kind, caring and soft-spoken person. Trust me, I had two previous doctors before him that I definitely did not feel comfortable with and did not like at all. His nurse, Delores, is also wonderful.

I give Dr. Pickrell the highest rating possible. I had been misdiagnosed by several doctors before I saw Dr. Pickrell. He has always been extremely professional and courteous. He is very good at explaining lab results and steps of treatment. I am extremely happy with Dr. Pickrell as my arthritis doctor.

8/26/08 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I posted under Paul Pickrell's ratings and it posted under Michael Pickrell, Although he may be great as well. The third posting on Michaels rating was my comment. Anyway, PAUL pickrell is "THE" best doctor in my eyes that anyone could possibly ask for. He is kind, intelligent, and knowledgable. It doesn't matter whether my insurance covers him or not. I will gladly hand over the full amount rather than see a doctor that has no bed side manner! | Respond |
