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.

The best!
Dr Bedford is great at listening to your concerns. He isn’t quick to dismiss things, explains things you don’t understand in “English”. I also love that he always offers an alternative holistic advice or solution in addition to traditional approaches and medication treatment plans. I’ve been a patient for years. Highly skilled, very intelligent physician, warm, caring and just plain old school. Sadly one of the few good guys left, highly recommend!

It was a real delight for me to experience Dr. Bedford’s remarkable quality of practice: his thorough patient-centered approach, his superior level of expertise, and his ability to provide a comforting healing environment. Also, I found his exceptional staff to be most efficient and caring. I believe Dr. Bedford represents the best of what a great physician is about: integrity, excellence, and compassion.

When asked to rate something I always chose second best, reserving best for the spectacular. Dr. Bedford is spectacular. He is knowledgeable, responsive, kind and caring. He advocates for the patient even when not directly involved in current care. I trust him with my life.
