Dr. Hale and his facility are a wonderful place to seek medical care! I have been one of Dr. Hales patients for well over 20 years and I have had nothing but great service! Dr. Hale's bedside manner is great! He knocks on the door, comes in, and says, "Hi", and shakes my hand while asking how I've been, every time. Dr. Hale has always demonstrated his exceptional medical knowledge, respect, kindness, concern, and general concern for my health. Dr. Hale always thinks of the patient first. Dr. Hale will help in any way he can and if he needs to he will not hesitate to refer the patient to a specialist. I trust Dr. Hale with my life and he even saved my mother's life. He knows his stuff and I would choose Dr. Hale first every time!

My daughter was recommended by another physician to Dr. Hale with a tentative diagnosis of bi-polar. We were so grateful for the referral- she had just spiraled so badly in the last few months. Her symptoms were certainly similiar if not dead on. The referring doctor had seen her many times in the last 18 months, knew her, knew her family, etc. Dr. Hale literally attacked my daughter verbally at her appointment today. Having only seen her twice before, knowing nothing about her family (her mother, step-father, and deceased brother are all well respected in youth ministry), he informed her that it was because of her "rough upbringing". She is a nursing student and before this last semester, had been on the dean's list. She accomplished this even with raising a baby alone. Dr. Hale not only noted that she received food stamps and help from section 8 (how is this medically relevant?), he informed her that her stress was simply from not ever managing on her own. He told her that it was in her head, she was using it to get attention, and that he couldn't cut her head off to empty it of her rotten life. Dr. Hale then tried to refuse to give her an inhaler for allergies that have been in her medical history since pre-teen years. He said it served her right because she smokes cigarettes.



My husband has been his patient for years, but will be looking for another physician. We were so hopeful-now she is hysterical and will not even go back to the doctor she trusts and respects. And our daughter is now going to try to manage a bi-polar condition on her own!!!!!!!!! The funniest part about this-when my son died suddenly four years ago, my husband was concerned about me and called his doctor, Dr. Hale, and asked for help. Dr. Hale wrote me a prescription for Xanex without seeing me, examining me, etc. I never took them, fortunately.



PLEASE reconsider if you are looking at this brute to treat your family. We now have no idea how to get her to accept help now-we were the ones who asked her to follow thru with Dr. Hale.
