Comments on: Facing Eviction, Century Doctor Looks To Town Council For Help http://www.northescambia.com/2015/10/facing-eviction-century-doctor-looks-to-town-council-for-help Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:47:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joyce Day http://www.northescambia.com/2015/10/facing-eviction-century-doctor-looks-to-town-council-for-help/comment-page-1#comment-310325 Joyce Day Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:29:17 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=232104#comment-310325 My husband and I have been benefiting from the services of Dr. Bachman since we moved here 10 years ago and don't know what we would have done without him. We sorely missed him when his practice was closed down temporarily and were thrilled when he opened his office again. When we had to pay our bill in installments he and his staff were very gracious and never once did we receive a reminder when we still owed money. Besides that, he is a warm and caring person who takes as much time with each patient as needed not rushing them out the door so that he can see someone else. Century needs a doctor like that around who makes time for everyone and even makes house calls which is unheard of anymore. Praying that he will be allowed to stay because all the higher ups seem to do anymore is take things away from this town.

Obviously these comments are being made by people who don't know Dr. Bachman or have their own agenda. Dr. Bachman is a good person and a great Doctor, the kind that you don't run across often these days. It's sad, but some people see only the worst in any situation. I'm sure he could be practicing somewhere else making a lot more money than what he's making here, but sometimes God puts people where they are needed most.

He didn't manage his money wisely and is asking for a bailout. The money he would've paid for rent should've gone into an account for maintenance, repairs and replacements. The doctor is wanting his cake and eat it too. Century needs a doctor not a Shyster. The doctor should have maintained the building with his profits.

It’s a for profit business just like the one I own in Century. No one is giving me a 50 year lease on a publicly owned building just because I give away some of my products/services to benefit the poor (and I do…thousands of dollars per month). No one gives Baptist Healthcare a state building for Agrait and their clinic to operate right there in Century, providing medical care. Plus she has privileges to admit and treat someone in the hospital; Bachman does not according to the state. If he’s not a legal non profit, he should play by the same rules and face the same financial necessity as the rest of us and play by his sweetheart of a deal lease.

He has been in Century for at least 10 years +/-. And as others have said, there must be more to the story concerning the building and lease. But, that being said, he is a much needed asset to the Century community. If Dr Bachman was in it to get rich, he would have left Century a long time ago.

I was just sent a letter from Jeff Miller in response to my letter to him about two weeks ago. He informed me that since this was a private contract issue he couldn't do anything to help. I say if we keep writing someone is bound to try to help. Afterall, isn't this what part of our representative is supposed to help with? I hope your letter along with others may help us. I do not want to change doctors, as I believe Dr. Bachman is a true asset to our community. Jennifer…

Yes he does see patients who can't pay, yes he makes house calls when a family cannot get a member there to see him. Did he violate certain terms of his lease I guess so he admitted he did but if possible we need to help get this building up to code or find another building for his practice. There are so many empty buildings where everything keeps closing it shouldn't be a problem.

He is not meeting the terms of his lease that he signed and agreed to. If someone were to get injured or if as fire occured; I'm sure it would be quite expensive. This doctor loves drama.
