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.

My experience was good. It was a busy environment ("scope day") during the pandemic. I felt respected and prioritized by Dr. Early when she declined to push my appointed time back to accommodate a very loud but very late arrival. Following the scope, Dr. Early came back and explained the results and plan for follow up. She was very cordial to and patient with my spouse, who asked questions already answered for me.?? I honestly hope anyone reading this understands that my visit occurred during what we thought was the worst of the pandemic. Dr. Early had to have been exhausted, yet it wasn't reflected in my treatment whatsoever. I hope her strength prevails and she continues her literally life saving/altering practice.

Dr. Early was brusque and abrupt. She gave the impression that I was wasting her time by having the colonoscopy that my doctor ordered. She asked a few questions which I answered and her responses were sarcastic.
