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.

Extremely friendly and still very efficient front desk. Same for the person doing vitals before dr came in. Dr was confident about my symptoms and treatment. About what I needed to do or in my case not do. After speaking with him - my nerves were calmed and I will follow his direction.

From the moment we entered this office we were made to feel important (valued), from the receptionist, nurse and doctor. Considering I was looking at having surgery it was a pleasant experience.

My appointment was at 11:30 and was scheduled to last 15 minutes. I was told to arrive at 11:15, which I did. I was in the examination room by 11:25. It was 11:53 when Dr. Bates arrived. I was tight on time and was within a couple minutes of needing to leave and reschedule the appointment. Dr. Bates was great when he arrived. It would have been a nice courtesy if someone would have stopped by the room and explained to me Dr. Bates was running behind and provided me with some type of information in regards to the length of the delay.
