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.

I love Dr. Rathe's frank and honest bedside manner. At first, it felt a little brusque, but I was quick to realize he doesn't sugarcoat the important stuff. He gets right to it, then gives you plenty of time for questions & answers to make sure you understand everything. He the PCP for my kids and for us. He tends to run on time (make sure you arrive a few minutes early to check in). I never worry much about the wait since there's free wifi and a great kid's corner. His staff is excellent.
