Titus C Kent MD

Came here for my first physical in years, figured I was overdue for one. Dr. Kent took care of me fairly well, and he was very straightforward in his approach which I greatly appreciated.
Dr. Kent was one of my options as a member of the Anthem Healthkeepers section of Bluecross, and he had quite a lengthy service record as a physician, so I opted for him. His office was very quaint, didn’t look like a doctor’s office from the outside at all. Parking was easy, and the front desk employee was pleasant enough. They asked me to call my insurance company later to have Dr. Kent listed as my PCP, though when I did so later I was told that that was unnecessary and that Dr. Kent would definitely be properly compensated regardless; I get the feeling that many of Kent’s patients have been a little problematic in terms of payment based on the way the employee approached the situation.
I didn’t have to wait very long at all before Dr. Kent came to get me. We went through the process of taking my history and basic measurements, though he did seem a bit rushed in doing so; his explanation was that one of his nurses wasn’t there that day, so it’s understandable I suppose. After that I was whisked down the hall to do the usual fluid tests and that process was about what you’d expect from a place of this nature, though they did it very expediently.
Returned to Kent post-​tests a few minutes later and he saw nothing of note on my lab results. Need to lose a little weight, though I was well-​aware of that before I came in (if you see all my restaurant reviews on here, it shouldn’t be any surprise that I have gained a few pounds!). A few days later, he called me back with the additional lab results and told me that everything checked out and that he wished me much luck in the future as I would likely not have to return for a year or two. Overall, he seemed quite nice and well-​informed and I would likely return to him for another yearly checkup or if I was experiencing general problems. I’d take him over PatientFirst anyday!
Overall: 4.0 stars
— — — –
Pros:
— He has lots of experience, he’s straightforward, and he’s attentive.
— Easy parking.
— Very short wait, and your visit probably won’t take too long.
Cons:
— Admittedly, I did feel rushed through the history-​taking process. If there had been something wrong with me, I would have been a bit worried that he might have missed something.
— The practice has a very informal feel to it, though it doesn’t really detract from the quality of care you’re receiving.

Dr. Banks Turner is the best GP I’ve ever had. He’s highly recommended in the Anthem provider’s guide by users and they’re all right. He’s got a great sense of humor and he’s easy to talk to. He really listens to you and provides excellent advice based on a conservative approach (ie. therapy before surgery). I don’t ever feel like he’s just prescribing me something to shut me up or make his drug reps happy. I’ve never had a hard time getting an appointment and every other doctor he’s given me referrals to have been great as well.
Best. Doctor. Ever. Seriously, I can’t say enough good things.
