Dr. Alice B Blount, MD

My Son and I had the Flu diagnosed by our PCP and only gave us Tamiflu. We both worsened, especially my Son and he called back for steroids or antibiotics. He prescribed Tessalon Perles for cough nothing else. He then called Shannon On Demand and rec'd singular, Flonase, prednisone. The prednisone helped, but not nearly enough. Both of our coughs worsened, my Son couldn't sleep for 12 days and never could lie down flat. We then decided we had enough and went to Shannon Urgent Care-West and saw Dr.Blount. She was extremely thorough. She actually read our chart before coming into the room. They saw both of us at the same time, which was awesome. My Son had Pneumonia and I had Acute Bronchitis. We were so tired and desperate to feel good again and to actually sleep lying down. She gave up both breathing treatments, steroid shots and antibiotic shots there and then called us in additional oral steroids and antibiotics as well as inhalers and 2 additional cough meds. We felt better that evening and were actually able to sleep lying down and the next morning we felt 90% better than the day before. OMG! We Loved Dr. Blount and wish she was a PCP. We would definitely go to her all of the time if we could. Thank You!! From Sleepless in San Angelo.

Did not have a good experience with this doctor, went in for a kidney infection and she acted like I was ignorant and my opinions didn’t matter. When I see doctors I get nervous and have trouble describing my pain. She seemed to rushed to care when the clinic was empty, and also acted annoyed by my questions. I did In fact have a kidney infection so she prescribed the antibiotics. There were a few other comments I’d rather not mention but I felt completely disrespected. The nurses were the only pleasant part of the visit.

Dr. Alice Blount has treated me numerous times but on this particular day, it was Dr. Blounts quick assessment and treatment that meant so much... I had a heating pad burn on my back that needed treated. This was a long process for her to take the time, as well as make the time, for my issue... a rather small but MAJOR second degree burn. I had already had the experience of back burns and was put thru the mill with traveling from my hometown of Brady with many trips to Wound Care on third degree burns. Dr. Blount is always pleasant. It is really a great feeling when you have a chronic illness and you get to be treated by a very fine dr at a walk-in clinic. I would always recommend Dr. Blount! Many thanks, Todd Ince

I highly recommend Dr.Alice Blount,she is a caring person(professional) whose goal is to treat all patients with courtesy and respect and gives a diagnosis when she has all the facts and symptoms( that what takes so long) she does not look at a clock and rush off she makes office visits worthwhile for her patients. She is a great doctor who treats all ages from pre-natal to geriatric patients. If you are looking for a doctor who "listens" and treats patients as people perhaps you should make an appointment, you will glad you did.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to this Dr. She is generally a nice person and appears caring, but she sees too many patients to give them the attention they deserve.1.My husband went to see her for a bacterial infection and she prescribed 2 weeks of antibiotics. After the 2 weeks of treatment, my husband had a blood test to determine whether the infection is gone. The blood test showed the infection was cleared, but Dr. Blount mistakenly looked at the lab report done before the antibiotic treatment (which was placed on top of the new one) and prescribed him another 2 weeks of antiobiotic. He was doubtful and insisted her to check again. Thats when she realized that she was looking at the old lab report.2.Dr. Blount delivered my son. He had severe jaundice due to complication at birth. Her nurse drew the blood at 9am, and she told us to wait for the lab result from her. We didnt hear anything back from her, and decided to call in around 4 pm. After checking the record, she realized that her staff forgot to send the blood for lab test. During the meantime, my son was turning visibly yellower. The lab quickly had the test done and determined that he needed immediate treatment. We took my son back to the hospital and stayed there overnight. That was on day 5 after my C-section, and the overnight hospital stay could have been easily avoided if her staff didnt forget to send the blood sample to the lab earlier in the day.3.Dr. Blount is a non-believer of C-section. After 22 hours of labor with no success of delivering my son myself, she chose to use vacuum to pull the little guy out. But the little guy was stubborn and refused to come out that way. She kept trying, until I was seriously torn all the way from vagina to cervix, and required emergency C-section. I lost almost half of my blood during birth and was not able to produce enough breast milk in the 1st month. My son came out with a cone shaped head (like aliens in the movies) that is soft to touch due to huge bruises, which caused his severe jaundice.
