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.

Dr. Wilkes is very knowledgeable and direct about your issue. He is helpful and advises to take the best approach to your individual treatment.

I was referred to Dr. Wilkes for surgery. From the front lobby to the back, everyone was very professional. I have had a few visits with Dr. Wilkes and my surgery was 2 days ago. I would give 10 stars if I could. I will be referring this doctor to my friends and family. Awesome experience!
