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.

Five hip surgeries in NYC trying to fix a botched total hip replacement by a top doc at Hospital for Special Surgery left me incapacitated and in horrible pain, just barely surviving on pain meds. Dr. Lewallen examined me, gave me three options. I asked, “Number 2 ... tomorrow?” I’m now back home with just a little discomfort. Sometimes — albeit rarely — miracles do happen. Thank you for giving me back my life, Dr. Lewallen!
