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.

Let’s start with Dr. Thompson arriving an hour late, office staff had said when I arrived they may not have a doctor coming in today. As he walks in stumbling and bumping into chairs appearing to be intoxicated. I went in for abdominal pain that’s been lasting for 2 weeks, Dr. Thompson completed a 60 seconds exam after which he refused to give me a referral for an ultrasound or x-ray and told me to drink water and take laxative which I told him I had already done. Poor bed side manner, poor service, should’ve stayed home if he didn’t want to treat patients.

Rude, unprofessional and argumentative.
He was talking to about issues in the clinic while he was in the hallway and patient were hearing his comments and arguments. He was loud and he does not care if people can hear him. The staff even said sorry about his behavior.

The doctor seemed very impatient and checked his phone multiple times throughout our visit.

Young and very polite. Listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. I was asked questions to further help Dr. Thompson better understand my health concerns. I did not feel rushed in anyway. A very good experience
