My family doctor recommended Dr. Lovelady and my neighbor who works in the OR told me to insist on seeing Dr. Lovelady only when I called for an appointment. He fit me in the same day after I got off work. I am scheduled to have an EGD because I have had a flare up of my reflux after many years. I know he will come up with the right treatment this guy is very thorough and people at the hospital tell me he is a very good Dr. My neighbor who works in the OR said I should leave a review for him so that other people in the community will know how good he is and I am happy to leave a good review and happy to have a good resource locally.
