Valerie A. Beard's Online Review Report Card

I’ve moved all around indiana and she’s kept me as a patient. I switched dr.s for a bit and ended up coming straight back to her. She’s a great listener and always willing to accept what’s come to her with my major health issues over the yrs. SO THANKFUL!

Doc is never available.. then they tell you to go to urgent care in the same building and you get stuck with a $1000 bill for a simple issue! Doc seems to be accepting new patients but with no availability you will never get an appointment. I would say run.. fast and find a family doc who cares and is available, has a back up doc or at least a NP.

Dr.Beard is a great listener and she does not hurry thru an appointment.

Dr Beard is a good listener and she is very proficient in diagnosing and treating any illness that you may have.

Each time I visit Dr. Beard, she explains each step of a process we might follow, ensures that I am referred to excellent professionals and keeps track of the details of each of my visits. Her staff is caring , friendly and professional. Her appointments are kept on time and she is a pleasure to work with.

The visit was thorough. Dr. Beard is a patient listener. She and her staff give plenty of attention. They addressed my concerns.

Dr. Beard is no-nonsense, and spends a lot of time listening and asking lots of questions. She never jumps to a conclusion. I truly feel she has my health as a top priority and never rushes me through an appointment. She's willing to work together, WITH me, to address health concerns and put together a plan of action that makes sense, and that we are both comfortable with. An added bonus is that she has an extremely pleasant/nice personality.

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Beard when. I moved here a year ago. She understands and respects my input and just seems to get right to my problems. She is genuinely caring and senses what you are not saying. Very intuitive. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

My last visit was a dual online appointment with my wife, Shirley J. Noyes. As usual, Dr. Beard was kind, caring, and professional. She listened carefully to our expressed needs. She treated me for a bad cold and Shirley for a sore throat. I don't usually like online appointments; but this one was very well done. We trusted and valued her treatment and have followed her recommendations to the letter!! As far as we are concerned, she is the best PMC we know!! She is already treating 3 of our family members that we referred to her. There is no way we can tell you how much we appreciate her as a friend and as our family doctor.

This dr has changed her policy on appointments. She no longer accepts appointments and claims that you will be seen on the same day that you call. I have called three times ( no later than 8:00am) in a month and was not able to see her for various reasons. She doesn't work on Thursday.... she is already booked for the day. The option that is given, you can always go to urgent care to be seen. Yes I did and it costs more than a copayment for a dr visit. It is time to cut ties with her and find another doctor. Thank you for nothing Dr Beard.
