St. Elizabeth Physicians

Note: This review is solely based upon my family’s experience with «doctor» Tim Keller, and is not intended to reflect negatively on any other physician at St. E.
If zero stars were an option, I would select that rating, this man has been a menace to my family for about a decade and a half, thankfully we were able to find another doctor for my elderly mother. A quick recap of our experience with this weird, sadistic man.
When I went in to request a birth control prescription as a kid for my terrible acne he was so angry that he threw his clip board across the room. One of his staff apologized, in my view his anger was out control and he was mentally unstable. I never went back. In my opinion he appears to have issues with women based upon a previous poster’s comment that he «doesn’t like to prescribe birth control.»
He refused to issue my issue my 80 year old mother a handicapped parking sticker despite the fact that she uses oxygen and struggles to walk saying she «didn’t want to look like you’re trying to take advantage of the system.»
In my opinion this ugly, mean-​spirited man is a blight on St. E. who disgraces his role as a physician.

Check out most of the physician ratings then decide if you want to go to this facility or not. I’m not liking being «forced» to see them because of insurance. I am definitely not happy with the care I’m given. Look someplace else for doctors.

Since St. Elizabeth took over my doctor’s office in Walton, it seems like the patient care has gone down hill. You call, and you’re put on hold for at least 5 minutes every time. Also, my mom had gone to a doctor in the office for over 40 years and they told her that she was no longer a patient because she hadn’t been seen for 5 or so years. My mom only goes to the doctor when she’s sick. Her blood pressure was running ¹⁸⁰⁄₁₄₀ and they wouldn’t see her until they checked with her «old» doctor. She had to be accepted by the doc. that had been seeing our family for years! It took them a week to get back with her… glad she didn’t have a stroke or heart attack in that time. She ended up being seen 2 days later at my dad’s heart doctor. Where was the concern for the patient here? I’m not totally blaming the doctor, but stupid St. Elizabeth for all of their stupid rules. It doesn’t seem like the patient’s care is first and foremost to me! I also called to state what had happened and was told that someone would call me back… guess what? NOBODY CALLED BACK. SO LAME!

The only thing I like about the place is the newness and cleanliness. The only thing that keeps me coming back is that 99% of the time you can get an appointment the same day (probably because they’re losing patients because of their nasty attitudes). I don’t like the receptionists. They seem bothered and snooty as if they’re the first doctor you see when you come in the building. Dr. Keller is an asshole. He is annoying and he talks to you like you’re stupid. I was in serious pain and in tears when I went to his office. He said that it was probably my gallbladder and he wanted me to get an x-​ray in two days. I told him that I didn’t think I could wait that long and asked if he could give me some medication. He denied me. That very night I went into the emergency room and had my gallbladder removed. I came in once and asked for birth control (I am a married woman with two children) and he said we don’t like to do that here and hastily wrote me a prescription. A week later I started feeling really sick and contacted my Neurologist (I’m epileptic). He was so pissed off because he said that it is a well known fact among medical doctors that the birth control that he gave me wasn’t compatible with my particular seizure medication.
I’ve seen Dr. Phillipe and he seems pretty cool. He looks fresh out of Medical school so it makes me a little nervous.
All in all, I give this place a 2 out of 5. Clean but mean.

Wow… Someone’s having a bad day! The receptionist has gone from mumbling to herself to getting mouthy with patients because, as she’s already stated a few times, «we’re supposed to be at lunch.» And, the physician that my wife is seeing for her physical has done nothing but complain about how extensive and inconvenient the paperwork she needs to have filled out is, even going so far as to ask her if she’s going to some Third World country. Really?! Shut up and do what you are being well overpaid to do! Are we cutting into your Tee Time? We made this appointment and made it very clear how extensive it was. Your receptionist knew exactly what was involved and made the appointment in this time slot. If you are annoyed, take it up with her and quit your whining. Just freakin’ sayin’…

I really like this place.
I have been to I don’t even know how many doctor’s offices and had to wait for what seems forever bored out of my mind, when I was sick and didn’t feel like being there in the first place. Or even worse, I’ve had some doctors where I couldn’t get an appointment when I was sick and really needed one.
This place is the opposite. You can always get an appointment. I’ve even called on the same day really sick when they were really busy and booked, but they managed to squeeze me in anyways. Also, I’ve never had more than a 10 minute wait. They have 6 different doctors so someone is pretty much always available unless you’re picky on who you want to see.
I’ve seen 3 different doctors.
1.) Dr. Todd Philippe — no complaints. nice.
2.) Dr. Tim Keller — tries too hard to be funny, comes off as annoying and rude
3.) Dr. Brad Patterson — Very nice! My favorite.
I’d recommend this place to anyone. I can only say that for this location though. I used to go to their location in Florence, and it was really hard to get an appointment.
