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.

Kind, Compassionate, Dedicated
Dr. Whitaker-Lea performed an emergency surgery on by grandfather for subdural hematoma. It was an incredibly scary situation for us but she was very comforting and explained things well. She gave him the best chance possible and ensured that we were supported since she was having to leave town after surgery. We appreciate her so much!
