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.

Amazing doctor! I don't even know how others can call themselves drs. I am an hour away but so willing to drive that to be cared for by him!

I could spend hours talking about what a wonderful Doctor he is but suffice it to say he is no nonsense and not indoctrinated into the usual medical and pharmaceutical mindset that surgery and drugs are the only answers. He wants to make sure his patients are doing everything possible to heal themselves without having to resort to surgery or drugs. He takes a holistic approach and he listens to me. He helped me in so many ways. One great thing is I avoided shoulder surgery because of Dr. Wigton.
