Family Practice Associates

"After 28 years with them I lost confidence in their ability to care for me. I had to go to a doc-in-a-box three times in the last year because I could not get in to see a doctor or a nurse practitioner. I called them 5 times to find out why they could not send a prescription to my pharmacy, the same one they have been sending prescriptions to for over 20 of the 28 years. Their service has hit rock bottom since 2of the 3 doctors in the practice have gone to MDVIP practice. The admin folks up front have been terrible for over 5 years. I thought I was doing Drs. Bingham and Winston a service when I told them how bad it was. Nothing changed. They are nice guys and I wish them well, but I have lost confidence in their practice."

"Most recently I was in need of seeing my PCP immediately and was able to get an appointment within an hour of calling. I was able to see Dr. Dowden who took great care of me as well as the clinic staff. In and out of the office in less than an hour, receiving efficient, quality care. Thank you to the staff, you all made my visit pleasant when I did not feel my best!"

"Staff is just ridiculous. You can not put them and professionalism in the same sentence. Officies are dirty - unacceptable. You will not get a call back no matter what, so just keep on calling them and hope that person you need is there and willing to talk."

"My entire family, including kiddos, followed Dr. Ben McDonald to Fairhope FPA after his residency and haven't looked back. If you want a great doc who will take the time to listen and truly wants to help you meet your health goals...he is your guy! He also has a fantastic nurse and they are both very attentive to their patients' needs...if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!"
