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.

SUPERB PHYSICIAN
Dr. Luikens is a compassionate, smart, and very well trained ER Doctor. He evaluated me in the ER for a brain bleed and thoroughly explained the risks and why it happened from my head trauma. I felt he answered every question very throughly and in detail in such a way I understood and was reassured by his obvious training and knowledge. I was really lucky to have Dr. Luikens in the ER!!

A doctor who's actually human!
This is easily one of the smartest, realest, most on-the-level doctors I've encountered in all my 59 years. Went to his ER to follow up on another doctor's jumping up and down and shouting about the supposed urgency of a condition of mine; turns out there is no urgency; that other doctor just doesn't understand my situation. Dedrick saved me from getting an expensive and unnecessary scan and restored my faith in...well, if not the medical community, at least my faith that there are some truly great doctors out there who are more concerned with doing what's right for the patient than what's best for the hospital's bottom line. Dedrick even said he'd carefully word the bill in such a way that I wouldn't be charged any exorbitant fees just for setting foot in the ER. Love this guy and wish I could have him as my primary.

Amazing physician who truly cares about his patients. Will get you in and out of the emergency room quickly (who wants to spend all day at the ER?) but very efficiently as well. I have had him as my doctor a few times and always felt as though I was in great hands!
