Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. John Chennault receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his caring, compassionate approach and genuine concern for their wellbeing. Patients frequently describe him as an excellent listener who takes time to understand their concerns, never rushes appointments, and makes them feel valued as individuals rather than just another patient. His extensive knowledge and diagnostic accuracy are repeatedly highlighted, with many patients noting he has been their physician for decades—some for 20, 35, or even 40 years. Reviewers appreciate his ability to explain medical issues clearly, his thoroughness in addressing health concerns, and his "straight shooter" communication style. The friendly, professional staff and efficient office operations with minimal wait times also receive consistent praise. Many patients describe visits as feeling like seeing an old friend, emphasizing his personable, small-town approach to care.

Patients also share

A small number of patients raised concerns about feeling rushed during appointments, with a few reviewers noting that Dr. Chennault seemed hurried or didn't spend adequate time with them during certain visits. One patient expressed feeling like "just someone's paycheck" and mentioned the doctor being "in and out of the room without even sitting down." A couple of reviews mentioned uncertainty about whether he fully listened to their concerns. One patient noted difficulty getting appointments, and another mentioned issues with the phone system. Additionally, one patient felt mental health and counseling services should have been recommended but were not provided. One reviewer also questioned the frequency of blood work for pre-diabetic monitoring compared to their previous physician.
