Seminole, TX | Mar 29, 2017

Loved him! Asked lots of questions and was thorough. I sure was scared going to this appt after reading other reviews but he was great. Don't expect a diagnosis if there is nothing really wrong, he is not going to make something up.

Big Spring, TX | Sep 08, 2016

When This Dr. enters the room there is immediate tension. he barely speaks to you and sits down and gets on the computer and starts typing. He always tells me how I feel instead of me telling him how I feel. cuts me off so I cannot say what I would like to say. He is very grumpy and gets offended if you ask to many question. He has put me on meds that make me sick and refuses to change them. he said it is not the meds and go to my primary care physician about it. I'm done with this Dr.

-Cynthia B. in Big Spring, TX | Sep 07, 2016

He doesn't listen to you, his bedside manner is terrible. He tells me how i feel instead of me telling him how i feel. I have RA and moved to this area without checking reviews as there are not many Rheumatologist here. Dr. Loveman I feel has lost his caring and will to help his patients. I have seen him for 2 years . He just will not listen and will not let me finish a sentence. I should have found a different Dr. a long time ago. I will never go to this Dr. again. He needs to Retire!

-C. Norris in Midland, TX | Jun 13, 2016

On my first and only visit he walked in the room looked at me and told me my previous diagnoses was wrong. He admitted that i tested positive for the test that proves my condition but told me it wasn't my problem. he also went on insulting me and accusing me of having a traumatic child hood. Then he canceled all of my meds I was on for pain now I'm in pain looking for a new dr.

odessa, TX | Apr 14, 2016

I moved from out of state, after having to wait 5 months for my first appointment the visit was terrible. He didn't look at ANY of my medical records that were transferred. He said that my previous diagnosis was wrong (no tests done) and got very defensive and rude when I asked questions about it. He pulled me off ALL my meds and when my conditions flaired up I couldn't get in and was told to wait until my next appointment, it was 3 months away. Never been treated so badly by a Dr before.

What is medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.
If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.
You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.
How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?
Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.
For which states does Healthgrades collect malpractice history?
Healthgrades collects malpractice information from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact your quality of care. Sometimes multiple states report the same claim. If a provider practices in a state where data is unavailable, please reach out to your local state legislature to help make this data publicly available.
0
Sanctions
No sanctions history found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What is a sanction or disciplinary action
What is a sanction or disciplinary action?
A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?
Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?
Healthgrades collects sanction history from all 50 U.S. states. Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state may move to another state where they have a clean record. Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.
0
Board Actions
No board actions found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What are board actions
What are board actions?
Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.
Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.
If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?
Healthgrades reports non-disciplinary board action history from for the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect non-disciplinary board actions?
Healthgrades collects non-disciplinary board actions from all 50 U.S. states.
