Tremont just hasnt been the same since Jerry Pittman (RIP) retired and subsequently sold the place to the new owners. Theyve never taken/filed insurance-- you pay at the counter before leaving-- and they are among, if not THE MOST EXPENSIVE of the "docs in a box". When Dr Pittman was there it was $85 if it took 5 minutes or 5 hours. Now its $117 if they take your temperature and $197!!! for an extensive visit. My 15 minute (total time) visit the other day was deemed extensive. They took my temp & my blood pressure. Other than that, Dr Tope, a big old country bumpkin looking fellow (though Im sure hes smart) did NOTHING BUT TALK. He wasnt interested in my condition other than to tell me to go to the hospital. He knew I didnt have much money yet his advice was basically "dont bother me, I cant do anything for you It was never like this when Dr Pittman was there. I sure miss him as do other members of my family who no longer go to Tremont. They go down the road a mile and pay $99 which includes all tests (Tremont charged me $40/ea for 2 culture swabs. The other place included it in their price when my sister caught what I had) To cut my story short, I will never go to Tremont again unless everyone else is closed. Theyre simply no good when it comes to general practice (theyve misdiagnosed people I know 3 times, plus one of the doctors there was sued for negligence; cost them a lot!) but I gave them 2 stars because I understand they have done a decent job at emergency stuff. They have more equipment than most people; I guess they know how to use it but no telling how much it will cost you. Ending-- theres much better care at other places for stuff like the flu, colds, and other non-critical procedures for MUCH LESS MONEY within a mile of this place. And theyre not in a hurry to rush you out the door. Ill never go there again, and I suggest you dont either.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tope for 25 years. Hes a no nonsense doctor that gives great bedside manner. Everything from stitches to shots for college. You can trust his judgment to get you better.

If you get sick they will diagnose you, any problems after that, they just tell u to go to the hospital because they dont want to deal with it. This place sucks

I think hes the best doc in town. My only complaint is they dont file insurance. But I still go to him.
