Treated me and my health issues as a top priority.

08/13/2024

The front office staff were extremely helpful, even in helping me with my MyChart app. They took a lot of time and were so wonderful. And for Dr. Rhynes, he was very helpful and knowledgeable. And when I had questions on whether he would be in network or not, he was very helpful and saying that if he couldn't help me because he was out of network, he would connect me with someone who could. So, excellent. Thank you.

08/06/2024

I really enjoyed meeting with the Dr. and his trainee. I felt comfortable throughout the visit and had questions answered that I thought was great. Keep up the great job!!

05/28/2024

Excellent.

05/21/2024

It could not have been any better

05/21/2024

The lady at the very front desk, was unbelievable kind and thoughtful. When the doctor had to assist in a surgery, and I asked where i could purchase a snack via vending machine while i waited. She offered me one of her snacks!! The other two ladies were very very nice as well but the lady sitting next to the far left door when the extra mile. She deserves a raise!!?? BTW. The hard plastic chairs are the worst chairs I've EVER had to sit in. Never have i ever had to sit in a hard plastic chair totally devoid of any cushion or comfort. I would be ashamed to be a practitioner in that office! And I had to sit there for almost an hour!

05/16/2024

DR. HAD VERY GOOD BEDSIDE MANNERS AS ATTENDEES RESPONDED WITH A MOST HELPFUL ATTITUDE. THIS MAKES ANY SURGICAL DECISION QUITE ASSURING. KEEP UP THE PROMISING TEAMWORK!!!

05/07/2024

Yes, everything was very professional. Dr. Rhynes was very professional. The nurse was very professional. And I will be recommending him. Thank you.

05/07/2024

The staff, including the provider, was very patient and very courteous, and I appreciated that. Thank you very much.

04/30/2024

The medical staff is excellent the billing department leaves much to be desired!

04/30/2024

Very professional. Caring. Explains everything thoroughly.

04/23/2024

No problems. I would highly recommend.

04/16/2024

The physician was courteous and explained clearly and simply the procedure that he felt I needed to have. I was very satisfied with his manner and professionalism.

04/11/2024

What I expected. Very pleasant.

04/04/2024

I called that office 3 weeks in a row because I was out of one of my meds. I even left a message with the office manager with no return call. I am switching to another Md. A friend of mine had to call her friend, a N.P. to get my refill. Not everyone cares to try and use my chart or whatever you call it. The medical field has become a very uncaring medical society and they let a lot of people slip through the cracks. Do you think all your older people will feel comfortable typing on a machine and not all of them have caregivers!!!!

04/02/2024

The entire staff was courteous and respectful. Dr. Rhynes listened to my questions and concerns and responded in terms that I could understand. If I had one suggestion it would be that, in addition to listing the doctors room number, the tower or building that he's in should be included. BRGH is very large and the walk can be quite a distance for elderly folks such as myself if you don't know where to start and/or park.

04/02/2024

Each time we have been to the office, we have had a very good experience. The entire team is great. They spend time with you, and answer your questions. I would recommend them to everyone that has the problems I have had.

04/02/2024

I was very pleased with the front office staff, the wait time and the nurse's preparation. Dr. Rhynes allowed me to tell my complaints without any interruption. He explained his findings and plans for further testing.

04/02/2024

I really appreciate all that has been done for me concerning my healing process with this awesome clinic.

03/19/2024

I highly recommend Dr. Rhynes and his staff. He is the best surgeon I have dealt with.

04/02/2024

The doctor and staff were very professional

03/21/2024

I appreciate everything that everyone has done for me.

03/14/2024

I really, really appreciated my visit today. I cannot say enough about how in detail Dr. Rhynes was in examining my particular situation and trying to, in the future, find some solutions for things that I'm experiencing. So I cannot praise him enough for that. Thank you very much.

03/05/2024

Everyone that had any contact with me was very helpful and showed us respect.

02/20/2024

Dr. Rhynes' staff were courteous and caring. Dr. Rhynes explained my problem in detail that I could understand even showing me pictures. He was very reassuring.

02/15/2024

It was a great and professional, thank you very much

02/13/2024

My visit was a good experience.

They come highly recommended by my general practitioner

02/06/2024

I really appreciate the professionalism with everyone in the staff in the office, especially the doctor who did a great job. And I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

01/30/2024

The office visit was a really good experience. Very helpful. Dr Rhynes was very knowledgeable and informative, along with his assistant. The only issue I had was there was no parking at all, anywhere so I was late getting up to the reception desk. I arrive 15 to 20 minutes early but could not park.

01/30/2024

Excellent

01/18/2024

It was my visit to this office but it was a good experience. I would recommend to others.

01/09/2024

Very professional staff

01/04/2024

The consultation was very helpful and understandable. The physician and nurse were very knowledgeable and very reassuring.

12/12/2023

I was very pleased

12/05/2023

Professional, courteous, informative

11/28/2023

The doctor made me feel rushed, like he was in a hurry, but it seemed like his office was kind of empty and it just made me feel uncomfortable. If he would have, you know, said some different things and if he would have implied maybe different things. Because he felt he was in a hurry to go to lunch and as soon as I walked in, you know, maybe at the end if he just said that, Oh, we finished in plenty of time, no, hurry up, I'm going to lunch now, you know, maybe if he said that at the end instead of at the beginning I would have appreciated that a lot more. I felt he was rushed and he was in too big of a hurry.

11/28/2023

Very satisfied with the doctor and total process.

11/21/2023

Very nice people to deal with.

11/16/2023

Everything went well, and I am happy.

11/02/2023

Dr. Rhynes is very respectful and has previously performed a hernia surgery on my son. I am looking forward to having him help me with my issues and pain.

10/31/2023

Everyone is wonderful and caring

10/26/2023

Very professional

10/19/2023

Even though it involved surgery I enjoyed the entire process!

10/17/2023

I found my appointment to be really enjoyable. The nurse practitioner came in first gave me a rundown of the procedure, but kept asking me if I had any questions so wouldn't actually let me ask my questions. I'd open my mouth to speak and then she would jump right in and give me more information before I had a chance to say anything. The surgeon on the other hand gave me information asked meaningful questions, and gave me time to answer those questions and that I really appreciated. Any questions that I had were answered very well, in a way that I understood that, I felt comfortable with moving forward with my procedure,

10/17/2023

My experience was very pleasant.

10/17/2023

It was great

10/17/2023

All staff on the DAY of my appointment were, polite, efficient, courteous respectful, and worked like a well oiled machine. I was in and out within 45mins. All my questions and concerns were answered.

10/16/2023

I really liked Dr. Rhynes. He knew what he was talking about & really showed he cared. Before this visit, the other doctor I got first opinion from scared me to death. Dr. Rhynes made me feel much better about my situation. I am looking forward to his care.

10/17/2023

Still waiting for all that can be taken care of

10/17/2023

I appreciate the latitude to make decisions about my health care.

Truly unbelievable! The robotic surgeon and surgical procedure were top Gun!!!

05/23/2023

Dr. Rhynes was very professional and had great bedside manner. He is an asset to your clinic and was everything I expected in my healthcare.

05/18/2023

The care provided by the staff and doctors was phenomenal. I came into this experience anxious of the procedure and its inner-workings; however, the staff and providers quelled my apprehension by making the overall experience as seamless as possible.

05/23/2023

Dr. Rhynes and staff was very nice and knowledgeable about my situation. I think he knew that I needed attention right away and addressed it and I thank him and his staff for that.

05/18/2023

It is my opinion for patient confidentiality that the front desk should close their windows

05/16/2023

Dr. Rhynes was my surgeon a year ago @ OLOL & I have followed him to BRG. He's awesome!

05/09/2023

This was my first time here and was very pleased and will be returning again soon

03/16/2023

Good experience

03/08/2023

very professional, very thorough with explanations and examination.

03/07/2023

For my preop EKG I was sent across the street to the Ochsner building. The EKG was abnormal indicating I had to schedule a cardiology evaluation and clearance for surgery. My EKG at the cardiologist office was normal and when he evaluated the EKG I had the previous day. He noted that two of the leads were reversed, which resulted in the abnormal EKG. I did bring a copy of his report to them and requested my insurance company not be billed for the abnormal EKG, which was not correctly performed and they agreed.

02/21/2023

Very informative.

02/21/2023

Great

02/21/2023

Office difficult to find.

02/16/2023

Was very impressed with Dr. Rhynes and his very honest remarks and what's next and does not recommend surgery.

02/14/2023

Doctor put me at ease about what I was there for and what my treatment would be

02/07/2023

Lab and preop visit could use a couple of people on check in. Waiting 20 minutes for her to even get my information

02/07/2023

Good news

12/27/2022

Very efficient. Highly capable very respectful

12/20/2022

The Dr was gracious and patient enough to come back to speak with us after he left us. We were not clear on one question. The young lady didn't know about the surgery the Dr was scheduled to possibly perform on the day we knew it was. Said, he doesn't do surgery on Tues. She looked more into it and understood the whole plan. We got there a half hr. early to fill out p/w.The wait time after filling out the p/w was still 30 minutes +. This was our first appt with him.

We're just getting started. I'm praying for the my best out come with my situation.

Doctor was professional, knowledgeable and empathetic. Loved him and trust him.
