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.

If I could leave less than 1 star I would leave less for Dr Wimer. I was discharging from the hospital, normal clothes put back on and bag on my shoulder, discharge paperwork in my hands. I asked what I could take for the headache I still had since I was already on an anti-inflammatory, and I normally would take ibuprofen. The Dr said I didn’t need to be in a hurry to leave, and that “Let’s see what I felt like in a couple of hours, and that I could still discharge.” I agreed to sit down. 15-20 minutes later the nurse came in and said she was putting an IV in me. I said I am discharging but just sitting down for a little while with the headache before I left. The nurse said that the doctor said I was staying another night. I told the nurse that this is not what I was told by the doctor. This may not be a review of her medical skills, but it is of her character and people skills and was passive aggressive. It definitely upset me and caused an extra night of billing for a hospital stay.
