coming from the east coast where Dr's are top notch I am disappointed in the medical care in the Myrtle Beach area with few exceptions. Dr Hicks being at the top of my list as great...he does not overbook appointments, you are seen at your appointment time, he takes his time with you, he listens, and if u r not doing what he tells u to do, he lets u know in a very nice way. I love going to his office he and the whole staff are wonderful.
