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’ve been a patient of Dr. Britton for 30 years. She is one of the most patient, competent, thorough and caring neurologist I’ve ever had. My visits with her is never rushed. She listens to her patients because we are the ones that knows the type of pain that we are going through, and she understands. There is not another like her. Anyone that I know that is in need of a neurologist, I would definitely refer them to Dr. Britton.

Terrible, time wasters.
Terrible. Booked an appointment 3 months out, the soonest available appointment was by video. I'm called 1 week before my appointment date to confirm, then I'm called 3 days before my appointment just to be told that I'm too young to see the Dr. Britton. So many months wasted, condition not improving, and because I wasn't told this right away, now the next available appointment with a different provider is 4 months for now. These people don't care, they just come into the city to make their living, and they leave without concern.

Dr. Britton is an excellent dr. She listens to you & answers your questions. She has an excellent understanding of neurological disorders & she gives you hope. A plus is that she has a great sense of humor.

Besides her medical knowledge she has a way of giving you so much hope. I've been to at least a half a dozen neurologists before her and they all looked at me blankly with no ideas of how to help. Thank goodness I found her 9 months later. We are still trying to figure it out but I am very confident she will. Amazing!

Didn't seem to be paying attention. At second visit she recommended I see the referring doctor to consider taking a medication. Well, that was part of why the referring doctor asked me to see someone- not necessarily her. I was taking it already I told her all that.. And when I asked if she had compared my old records to her new ones to say if I was better or worse, she said she didn't have time. Instead she offered me new, expensive tests.. which I did not do.
