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 had an appt with Dr Edwards today and she was very informative about my health issues , very caring and took the time to sit and help work out a plan to get me feeling better. She told me if I need anything to send her a message through patient portal and she would get back with me. I couldn't have asked for a better Visit. I highly recommend her!!! Thank you Dr Edwards for taking the time to listen and explain everything I needed to know about my condition!!!
