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.

Fluoride is not good to consume regularly!
Tried to “inform” my wife and I that consuming Fluoride is good for a baby. It’s toxic everyone! NeurotoxicitySome studies have linked fluoride exposure to cognitive deficits in children.

I have been seeing Dr. Newcomb for 6 years now. I think he is the best doctor I've ever had. He is thorough and he takes his time with every visit, so I never feel rushed. His demeanor is warm and friendly, which sets me at ease. He talks to me like I am a person, rather than just a patient. I think so highly of him that I convinced my mom to start seeing him too (and she is also very happy with her care from him.)

Dr Newcomb is on of the most professional physicians I have met. His ability to make the patient at ease supersedes any I have met. He is knowledgeable and a cut above in this area for sure.

My children and I have been with Dr. Newcomb for 8 years now. Not only is he board certified (idk why this says he's not) but he takes his time with us each, listens to our concerns, and discusses the best option for treatment. He considers our opinion and is kind and thoughtful. Kids love him too. I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best possible healthcare available in this area of Southern Illinois.
