Very good experience at all times

My doctor is informed and cares about my health and always listens to my concerns and offers me a solution.

I've been with Dr. Hubbard over 20 years. He and his staff are always welcoming, informed, and respectful.

I could not ask for a better physician. He is not only competent but kind. He is a great listener and he's honest and trustworthy. I'm so grateful to have him. He definitely makes his father proud in the way he cares for his patients.

Everything was great.I am blessed with extremely good health and it is a joy to be a patient of Dr. Hubbard for my yearly physical. I've not really had a need to reach out to him in other parts of the year because my health is so good, yet he has a wonderful bedside manner. He has a great attitude and that is super important for any doctor to have

I always feel taken care of here.

Dr Hubbard is very efficient and always knows about all visits that I've had with other caregivers since my last visit to him. He ALWAYS asks, if I have any other questions or concerns, before he leaves for the next patient. I NEVER feel rushed!

Dr. Hubbard is great. His office is great. The only hiccup is the length of time it takes to get the referral to see a specialist to the actual appointment date. It shouldn't take months. I Understand that insurance plays a huge part in that but still it's incredibly inconvenient.

Keep him he's a gem.

My primary care provider is always congenial, helpful and supportive.

During my visit, he listened to my concerns, addressed them satisfactorily and sent a follow up email with my results and explanation of what they meant.

Other than being notified 2 days before my original appointment (scheduled 365 days in advance) that the provider would be out of town and I had to be reschedules to three weeks later, the actual visit and appointment went relatively seamlessly.

I followed Dr. Hubbard to his current provider group. He is by far the best doctor I have ever had. I refer him often to friends. His staff loves him and unsolicted indicate how great he is to work with.

He's great

Dr. Hubbard is a very caring doctor. I had emailed him on Thursday morning with some symptoms which could have been critical; he emailed me asap and said i should be seen right away and his office gave me an appointment for that same morning at which time Dr. Hubbard verified that it was not a life-and-death situation. he immediately also ordered MRIs to see what could be causing my discomfort. unfortunately, the imaging center was unable to give me an appointment prior to Tuesday so i am now waiting to get the MRIs done so that Dr. Hubbard can diagnose what the cause of my discomfort might be.

My situation was a little different because I had Covid symptoms, so I couldn't see my regular doctor, Dr. Hubbard. I was seen by an Urgent care person who kept me waiting for an hour and wasn't easy to deal with. But, then I had a Zoom call with Dr. Hubbard a day later and he was 100% on top of everything. He is very kind, thorough, and professional. That's why I'm giving the place high marks, mainly because of him. The staff is all over the place, but it's also a crazy time for sure.

Every time I have a medical concern, has been diagnosed correctly and time and time again I had the feeling I'm revisiting the best possible care provider that anybody can have. I trust dr. Hubbard with my life and have no hesitation to go there again.

"Dr H ". is the coolest Dr at St Johns . the only one I will deal with. easy to talk to ! makes the visitation process very easy and comfortable

Feel very comfortable with this doctor and staff..caring and very knowledgeable..during this time of Covid we honor our Doctor and staff..thank you
