02/11/2025

Awesome!

02/05/2025

When I went, the nurse showed me into an older waiting room with a very short step to get up onto the examining table. I explained to her that I couldn't use that, and she put me then into the room with a bigger step up. So she was listening. I recommended that my husband go to Dr. Robert Wood. I found him to be an excellent physician. And I get much better feedback than most of my friends report.

02/06/2025

Treated with dignity .

02/03/2025

We have always had excellent service with Dr. Wood's staff and with Dr. Wood. His staff will go out of their way to help you with anything you need help with. What I like most about Dr. Wood is that he actually really listens to what you have to say and does not hurry you in and out of his office. He makes sure that he has answered all of your questions about your health and he is very professional & very personable. I highly recommend Dr. Wood.

Dr. Robert Wood is the best physician I have ever had. He takes the time to ask questions, listen to the answers, provide meaningful information, & take effective action to resolve any issues. In addition he is very likable, no airs. His chair side manner is great. It's unfortunate that good physicians are so rare & hard to find. Dr. Wood is outstanding.

11/06/2024

I had a 9:30am appointment, arrived at 9:15am to check in, I was not called to the back till 10:00am. When I made this appointment we agreed on the 9:30am time, if the provider can't see me with in 15-20 minutes of the agreed time the appointment should not have been made for that time. My time is just as valuable as anyone else's time. When I was called back I was getting up to cancel the appointment and leave the premises.

The office staff and doctors are awesome. Dr. Wood is very thorough and makes everything easy to understand. He always takes time to answer my questions. i get emails about checking in online, which I would do if it didn't require me to scan my ID and medical insurance cards.

Dr Robert Wood is an excellent doctor and I always feel like he is listening to me and not rushing to get to the next patient

04/24/2024

The new MY CHART is taking some time for the staff, but they'll get it. All my other doctors belong to MY CHART. I am glad for the change. They missed one of my medications, fenofibrate. I am still on it.

04/23/2024

In addition to Dr. Robert Wood and his staff being wonderful, I also had lab work done. The wait was minimal, and the tech was extremely good. The stick was almost painless, and there was barely a mark and absolutely no bruising. Please do work on the system used to schedule appointments. The automated system is loud and the wait time is ridiculous. It was the only part of my recent experience that was not pleasant and professional. Once I was able to speak to a person, the scheduling process went very smoothly.

04/23/2024

Dr Wood is great!

04/23/2024

The sign in person wasn't very pleasant.

We feel lucky to have found him and his staff.

03/19/2024

Friendly staff

03/28/2024

Excellent service

03/21/2024

The front office charged me $25 for a visit that should have been 0. After I told her I didn't have a copay she told me it it still $25 to see the doctor even though I pay hundreds of dollars every month to be insured by blue cross blue shield Louisiana.

Great facility

12/06/2023

The nurse and especially the physician was very attentive to my concerns/questions about my healthcare. The physician took extra time to make suggestions on how to improve my health-so appreciated.

12/06/2023

Nothing, had a completely good experience under rather uncertain future circumstances.

12/05/2023

It was a very intensive appointment as many medical changes occurred. Dr. Wood asked questions and made numerous notes. He is always very thorough.

11/30/2023

Dr. Robert Wood and his staff are very attentive to my needs as a patient. Baton Rouge Family Medical center is by far one of the best primary care facilities in the Baton Rouge area.

Dr. Wood took the time to answer my questions. I did not feel rushed. He explained that I could get my mammogram at the General that day. I did and that was very helpful.

11/07/2023

Dr. Wood has been excellent to me. He treats and talks to me with the greatest respect I have ever seen among physicians. He listens to me and gives me options. He also helps me heal faster.

11/07/2023

They are polite and professional.

10/30/2023

I understand that physicians are sometimes running behind schedule, because they have to take care of the immediate needs of their patient. But when I physician walks in a room 45 minutes late, I would expect him to at least apologize for being late. And when I come back to pick up medication that they called me, to come and pick up, and it's not ready. It's frustrating and I did that twice and the medication wasn't ready and there's been coming back up third time, which I am not going to do. Terrible Customer Service.

10/31/2023

Great experience well done

10/31/2023

I'm glad I have private insurance because my (now deceased) precious sister had medicaid and the treatment of her and the service provided was horrible! But I was her pitbull and fought for her like hell and demanded proper treatment and respect. You can teach skill all you want but you can't teach compassion. These nurses had compassion??

06/26/2023

I was pleasantly surprise to get into the doctor's office at the schedule time unlike other offices. It was a first time visit in this place. Will be coming back for sure. Doctor Wood seemed great too.

06/20/2023

It was great!

06/05/2023

BRG is the hospital of my choice for any problems that may arise and is where my primary Dr is

05/30/2023

Good.

05/23/2023

This does not apply to the Lab ! They were rude and screaming at one another about if I had to pay prior to me being serviced because my insurance is an out of network insurance.... It was horrible!

05/22/2023

Very thorough and caring

05/18/2023

You did very well. I've been here for a long time, and I've been treated very well. Thank you.

05/18/2023

05/18/2023

I appreciate the staff. Helpful and pleasant

05/15/2023

I would just say that I really appreciate my doctor. He takes time with me. I appreciate the staff that's working with them. They all take time with you and are concerned about your well being, about my well being. My husband. I really thank God for them.
