Roberts Jr James C MD

I have been seeing Dr Roberts for several years now. I my opinion, he has kept me from having further heart issues. If you just want a Dr to suggest a stint, and prescribe you a statin, Dr Roberts is not the physician for you. If you are interested in preventing heart issues through a holistic approach and alternative modalities to avoid the knife or stints, Dr Roberts is ideal. One piece of advice, you can't prescribe your way out of an unhealthy lifestyle. Be prepared to be actively involved in your own health. This is not a passive experience. You will have to be willing to integrate some lifestyle changes. Dr Roberts is a world class professional. With your committed help, he can fix your issues.

This was my 3rd visit to see Dr. James Roberts. Did not wait an extended time past appointment time which is unusual for a doctors office. I like the fact that Dr Roberts is open to alternative therapy and does not just do the standard pharmacy pills like most other doctors. Very knowledgeable and personal.

Was a patient a long while ago of Dr Roberts. Since the testing he ran, at that time was good. He told me to call him if I had any further issues. I had no further issues till recently. My PCP recently requested that I see a cardiologist due to some results she ordered on my heart. So I contacted Dr. Roberts office to schedule an appt. Today I received a phone call from, I assume, the office manager who informed me that because it had been so long since I saw the dr, they "assumed" I sought another Dr. Which I had NOT. So the Dr is refusing to see me because they "assumed" I sought care elsewhere. I needed no heart care between then and a few weeks ago. That is until now! I find this denial to see me unacceptable and the staff member who called me was rude, cold and unwilling to hear one word I said. Gave no chance for explanations. So I will seek care from another cardiologist, one who really cares about their patients and treats them with dignity and respect!!!

This rating is based on the staff as I had been rudely and wrongfully denied an appointment based on Melody's (front desk) opinion. After having my first referral apparently not make it there (even though my doctor's office had a confirmation fax) and a second one ignored until I contacted them about it, I still was very rudely denied an appointment based on the decision of Melody. Even after my doctor's office personally called and spoke with her, then had me call back to make an appointment she still arrogantly denied me an appointment. She also hung up on me twice and if someone else happened to answer the phone during this whole fiasco, they nervously claimed that I had to speak to Melody and immediately transferred me. It's difficult to blame the others so much though for my poor treatment as I would also fear the repercussions of disobeying Melody's commands. I also work in Healthcare and if I or another coworker had treated a patient or potential patient in that same manner, we would have been forced on a leave of absence or fired if we continued that behavior. With that said, I am very disappointed in the whole situation, especially after hearing good things about the doctor from word of mouth and reading reviews. I just don't understand why a front desk worker feels that her opinion overrules a doctor's even after having the patient's doctor's office personally call to confirm "Yes, I do want my patient to see this doctor." It really is a shame and it makes me wonder if Dr. Roberts even knows about his staff's maltreatment of patients/potential patients. Melody's behavior in particular is very disturbing and with staff like that, you're more than likely not even granted access into the facility to even notify the doctor of what is going on behind his back.

I have been seeing Dr. Roberts for around (maybe over) 30 years. He is SUPER SMART!! And I appreciate his objectivity. I would think that I am healthier than most men my age, and at least some of that is due to Dr. Roberts. I have had other close relatives see him, all with spectacular results.
