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.

I saw Dr. McEntaffer the day I was being induced due to complications. I was very nervous and concerned. She spent time talking through all of my questions and worries. She told me she would be delivering my baby and ultimately everything was my decision and she would support me. She gave me excellent medical advice and allowed me to feel comfortable. She delivered my daughter and I couldn’t have had a better experience. I was so concerned about the whole process, but I knew what to expect because she took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend her and will be seeing her for annual exams.
