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.

At the scariest time of my life Dr. Parsons was there with a listening ear, and provided a 9 hour and a 7 hour surgery. Seven years later I'm still moving forward! Thank you Dr. Parsons!

She is a very outstanding surgeon, will listen while you are talking and cares for her patients. I am so very pleased with her. She explains in detail what she sees is wrong and what she believes is the best way to treat. She removed cancer from my left lung.
