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.

Talks down and belittles his patients. He is an arrogant doctor. A doctor with this kind of poisonous attitude is not good for treating people bad vibes ( spirits) pass on to people. As a Nursing student, we're taught that bedside manners can aid in healing our patients. I guess Dr. Hunter was not taught this. My grandmother told him that a particular medication was making her sick. He says, "No, No,No, I've never heard of this from any other patient. That can't be true." And refused to change the medicine. He may be the "best" on paper but that is the only place you will see him being called that. Stay clear. Your health is too important to risk it.

Terrible doctor. I agree with the previous reviewer. He’s a terrible doctor. He literally told me that he had a bad day and didn’t feel like arguing with me. He wasn’t concerned about his patient. He was more concerned about his ego and him being right. Even though his office clearly had made the mistake
