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.

Excellent Endocrinologist
Dr. Pillinger listened carefully about my medical issues, and was responsive and very helpful. He explained everything carefully, and I felt that we were working on my medical situation as a team. Highly recommend. Never felt rushed. Office staff nice.

Dr.Pillinger is a fantastic doctor. He is very thorough and spends time with you. I have never had a problem, and he checks on me every year and has done biopsies on me where he was gentle and kind. I am very happy to have him for a doctor!

Dr. Pillinger takes all the time necessary to make sure the patient is comfortable and understanding of the treatment plan. He is genuinely thoughtful and considerate of the patient and their needs. I drive over 3 hours to see him twice each year and consider it well worth the drive! I feel confident in his abilities and knowledge about my thyroid cancer history. I highly recommend him!

I have been seeing Dr. Pillinger for years. Dr. Pillinger takes his time during your appointment, so he can see the whole picture. I am a very complex case, and I appreciate his efforts to help improve my health. He has to work with my other specialist so all the doctors can stay informed. He also quickly answers your mychart questions. He is very professional and polite. I highly recommend him.

I drove from Columbia, SC to see Dr. Pillinger because of the reviews I find on him. I was very happy that I did. He listens and takes the time to explain what is going on and address your concerns. His staff is also very courteous and helpful.
