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.

We love Dr. Beckford. She has treated all of my three kids ever since they were born. She remembers who they are and she always seems pleased to see us and them. She is attentive, listens to concerns and questions we have, and when she explains something, she sometimes even draws a picture for us or does a demonstration to understand better what is going on. I recommend her highly!

Dr. Beckford is the only pediatrician who personally met with me when I was selecting a doctor for my child during my pregnancy. My son is now 18 and still very comfortable with her. She takes the time to know her patients. I have recommended her to many of my friends.
