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.

No empathy
Dr. Thornton was assigned to my daughter’s care on a last minute appointment basis. She was a bit rude when I was explaining my daughter’s symptoms along with whoever else was sick in the household. Making side comments and smirks to whatever I said. While trying to get a throat and nasal swab, she stated that we can do this the easy way or the hard way. My daughter was already not feeling well and this type of language didn’t make the situation better. She didn’t express any care or empathy towards her. We will not be seeing Dr. Thornton anymore even if the last doctor in the building.

Not care about the children. Violent
She is very rude on child and not professional. My daughter has a mouth pain, I took her to the Germantown office, where we see her for the first time. When she check my daughter’s ear she complained too much ear wax in her ear, and used a stick to remove the ear wax. Guess what, she did it very violently, I saw blood from the ear stick. She said it is not painful. Stupid and rude doctor, put the stick into your ear till it is bleeding, to try if it is hurt or not. I need to complain to the office tomorrow.
