A Message From Dr. Joseph Kwentu

“Getting the best results with medication tailored to you”

See What Are Clients Say About Us

Tabatha Alderman

Dr Edwards and Shelby are both exceptional people. I always feel welcomed every visit and I never feel like I am just a number in line. I am treated with decency, respect and compassion. Oh, and not having to wait 2 hours wondering when you’re going to be seen is the best part.
They don’t rush you or cut you off when you’re speaking while treating every conversation with absolute confidentiality.

Laura Thompson

I am a patient of Ms. Carri and Ms. Libby here. They take excellent care of my needs and concerns. They always go above and beyond for me. They always welcome me with a bright smile and kindness. I could not ask for a better care team.

Courtney Jones

Been a patient for over a year now and it feels great to be taken care of people who actually take the time to listen to you and take your needs seriously. Everyone is super nice and helpful.
**Libby is the best she always shares her cat-in-space blanket with me when I’m cold during treatments ✨🫶🏻

Torsheta Jackson

Dr. Carri Myers and the staff at Precise – Flowood are amazing. Dr. Myers listened to our situation (plus my anxiety and fears) and made quick recommendations. She then ensured that our testing was performed as soon as possible. Once, we had the results, she sat with me and discussed them with a very positive outlook. I must say she truly understands how children can be labeled which was one of my worries. She and her staff (Thank goodness for Libby.) spent hours on the phone with pharmacists to ensure we received medications promptly. I have not been more pleased with a doctor and staff in a very long time. They truly care about their patients and will do the work to take care of them.

Abi Edwards

Ms. Carri and Ms. Libby treated my mother here. She always raves about how sweet and caring they are. Going along with her to her appointments, I have to agree. Very professional and knowledgeable, but personable care team that goes out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of and comfortable.
