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 have never experienced worse treatment by a physician, or anyone, like I experienced with Dr. Garven. I was not treated or viewed as a human being, but rather as my disease. In fact, he most likely did not know my name, or look at me during the appointment. When I was in tears at his appallingly neglectful treatment, he did not listen nor ask questions, instead he left the appointment, leaving me in the room in tears. I felt discriminated against specifically for my disease.

I would highly recommend Dr. Garven. He listens to his patients really well, and doesn't push treatment or medicine unless needed. He is attentive and thorough during appointments.
