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.

He’s been my doctor for years and I trust him.

Not impressed at all! Knows nothing about elderly care and things to look for. Wouldn't take my dog to him or his nurse practioner! Waste of time and money! Waited 2 hours for antibiotic cream we were already putting on a 2 inch ulcerated leg sore. Was told it would take 10 days to heal and to wash it with soap and water. Really? Cellulitis so bad couldn't touch leg and plus 3 pitting on both legs plus a history of bad heart problems, and we got ointment and soap and water. What a quack!
