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.

Outstanding Care
My final meeting with the Dr. Rush three months after surgery. I am 100% pleased with the care I received before, during and after my successful surgery. Thank you.

Great Doctor
Dr Rush is a very competent and caring doctor. Mother is 94 and it is challenging for her to sit very long in her wheelchair. Dr. Rush schedules her at a time where he can quickly get her in and out. He is very kind and we are pleased to have him as a doctor.

Dr. Rush is professional, friendly, and willing to spend the time it takes to administer my Prolia shot and discuss. I did miss his long time head nurse on my visit yesterday. Sorry I do not remember her name, but she was always on top of things.
