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 had minimal wait time in the waiting seats. Dr Bess was friendly and energetic. He educated me on why he chose not to add a new medication to my regiment to ease my panic attacks. The medicine would have a high risk of addiction and dependency. Thank you for your recommendation of natural techniques and a better focused rest schedule Dr. Bess. See you again in time.

This doctor does not gather complete patient history before making a diagnosis or prescribing medication. He refuses to address patients concerns regarding medications and side effects. This doctor doesn't have a passion for his job or truly want to help his patients.
