"If i could rate them a ZERO/ZERO I WOULD!!!! My husband was diagnosed with high liver enzymes... he is an alcoholic trying to recover.... however, they prescribed him 'paxlovid' to "help" which causes more liver damage!"

- LocalityBiz review of Freeman Neosho Hospital

"I’ve had zero problems with the office staff. Always friendly and helpful. But beware of Dr. Melanie Akuna. I went to her for about 6 months. She doesn’t seem interested or educated in treating the human body as a whole... instead just wants to prescribe pharmaceuticals to mask your symptoms."

- LocalityBiz review of Freeman Neosho Physicians Group

"Doctor's are great. However, lately when calling the front desk always keep going straight to voicemail."
