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.

Dr. Chris has been our family doctor since he has been back too Vermont. I would say 25 year we have seen him. He is great and makes everyone feel at ease. Now, I had a stroke at 51 and now dementia because of that. Dr. Chris has been wonderful. He make me feel safe. I would recommend him! Thanks for being a good guy and helping all my family.

Not impressed
Never made eye contact, dismissive to my concerns, never examined me other than listening to my lungs which wasn’t a concern of mine. Borderline rude, short and somewhat harsh in his communication. All I can say is „Wow!“Didn’t know doctors like this still existed.

He doesn't make eye contact. He never moves from his chair, always staring at the computer screen. He does not take anything my family has to say about my health seriously. Not impressed. :-(
