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. Penman was instrumental in my recovery from breast cancer. She gave me options based to choose and offered her expert opinion. Her bedside manner was incredibly caring. I will miss her in retirement. Not that visiting doctors give me the "warm and fuzzies", but with her I always looked forward to the appointment because I had 100% faith in her ability to do what needed to be done to restore my health.
