Hugh Holt's Online Review Report Card

It's odd to me that Dr. Holt's ratings are either a 1 or a 5. I hope that he looks at that because it's clearly problematic. I experienced qualities that would rate a 5, but overall my experience was a 1 because he became angry with me and talked to me in a way that I have never come close to experiencing from any other doctor. My very short relationship with him (1 visit and 1 phone call) ended with my feeling hurt and humiliated, and him being angry and frustrated. My sense is that he is a very good clinician whose decisions I would trust, if they were contextualized in healthy patient/provider relationship. But I wonder if the way he interacts with patients depends on whether or not they fit the mold of what he sees as a "good patient." Apparently, I do not.

Dr Holt is the best. He is patient, never in a hurry and very thorough. Never more than five minute wait to see him. He got me into remission for my Wagner’s disease and is keeping me there. I really like him as a person as well as a doctor.

Dr. Holt has been my rheumatologist for approximately 20 years. I have never had to wait long, and I never feel rushed. He listens and remembers my previous complaints and asks if they are better, same, or worse. I have now been diagnosed with a lung disease and he helps stay on top of it. He recently noticed a big difference in several areas in my bloodwork that could be due to my lungs. I took his advice and the last bloodwork showed improvement. He is patient and kind. I highly recommend him and this office.

He is pompous and rude. I was diagnosed with a very rare disease earlier in the year. I think I can sum up the type of physician he is. On the fourth visit, I was accompanied by my sister, because of COVID-19 she was in the waiting room, (With mask and gloves), when I asked if she could come back, he said, “ I’m not gonna spend another 30 minutes explaining your situation“. I responded “I don’t think that’s a very good way to start an appointment.” He responded with “Would you like to sever this relationship?” “ I think I’ve gone above and beyond with you“. My sister comes to the door at that point, and oh how his attitude and tone changed. I can give him one complement he does no appropriate tapering of high-dose steroids. Good job. He is awful, I know him through his business and also outside of his practice. Beware.

Dr. Holt is the best. Before I started seeing him I had an allergic reaction to my RA meds. He was the only Dr. who listened to me and helped me find a medicine that makes me feel mostly RA free.

Dr H. is the most arrogant doctor I’ve ever known. I honestly don’t know why he practices medicine. His staff is also rude. I would not walk but run from this practice!!

I went here today I was referred by my doctor I told Dr.Holt about all my pains and problems and he basically did nothing for me I feel like this visit was a complete waste of time he was totally off subject of my problems do not waste your time or your money going here

Dr. Holt was very kind and patient and discussed my problems in length. I feel like if there is a way he can help me he will. If not he will not keep me coming back for no reason. He eased my fears about maybe having RA or Lupus. Waiting on blood work now.

Dr. Holt is wise and thorough. When other doctor's dismissed my concerns about he listened, diagnosed and offered the help needed with respect and the care we rarely experience in the world of hurried medicine these days.

Dr. Holt was kind and compassionate. He spent more than an hour with me and was very thorough. I highly recommend him.
