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.

Prescription sent to wrong name
Telehealth
I had a prescription sent to my house with my name on it when I didn’t ask for one. Not sure how something that requires a birthdate and insurance can be sent to someone in error. I’ve called time after time after time. Yet again I called and no answer. No answer from any extension. Not sure how you can run a business correctly if there’s no one to answer a phone call. I’ve called the so call pharmacy that is on the bottle and once it goes to voicemail it changes the phone number. A lot of not good stuff going on here and upsets me to no end that I’ve gotten wrapped in this somehow.
