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.

Dr. Whitney is absolutely amazing with children. Both my boys go to her and I can't imagine sending them to any other Dr. If we have an emergency she does the best she can to get us in, if she can't and we have to go to the ER or urgent care she always checks in with us the following day. She listens to my concerns and worries while giving me great advice. My boys love her. I can't recommend her enough! She's wonderful!

Dr would not see us
This provider refused to see us because we usually see a family medicine doctor. I had a serious concern regarding my 2 month old and we were turned away despite being current Iowa clinic patients whose primary care provider was unavailable.
