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 canceled my contract with Dr. Cummings because I did not get the high quality service I expected. I told him that I'd been diagnosed by 2 psychologists with mild cognitive impairment. Nevertheless, he prescribed simvastatin for my heart. I told him several other Drs told me NOT to take it because of memory. I took it for 3 months but was uncomfortable. My research shows it's a memory risk, based on studies from Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and FDA. I don't want my memory to get worse! About 6 months ago, I felt a popping in one of my fingers. He looked at it and said that treatment is an injection at the top joint of the finger. He didn't name the problem. Later, 2 friends (one a Dr) said that it’s called Trigger Finger and that the treatment is an injection in the palm of my hand beneath that finger. A friend of mine sees another Dr at Blue Ridge Premier Medicine and has been very happy. I paid $2950 for one year service. I requested a refund. I received $491.66.
