Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This dentist does not stand behind the substandard work his employees perform. I had a crown replaced on one of my front teeth and the color was too dark and didn't match my other teeth. When I brought it to their attention, they told me it was because the dentist used the wrong kind of post and that the only way to fix it was to replace the post and crown for another $ 1200.00!
