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.

My mother was in the emergency room tonight. She is my only living relative. I am extremely upset with her care. She went to the er today. I have seen her with a severe cough to the point she cannot talk or laugh bc she goes into a coughing fit. She wets herself from coughing so much. She has a history of back fractures and lung diseases. She has been admitted for her lungs and for PT for months prior. Also a long history of asthma. The doctor today did not listen to her chest at all. Would not give her a breathing treatment. When she asked what she was supposed to do for the pain he offered narcotics. And then guessed it was bronchitis. She asked to be admitted to be seen and you denied her that. If something happens I will hold you personally responsible.
