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.

Doesn’t take concerns seriously
I went in after hearing a pop in my knee, my knee gave out and i was unable to walk. The doctor ordered an xray, looked at my knee for maybe 2 minutes and told me there was no way i tore anything so he didn’t order an mri. I went to another doctor who immediately did an mri after I explained my symptoms and found out I had torn multiple ligaments which the first doctor would have found had he done an mri.

Failed to recognize an emergency. Postponed care by demanding a repeat of diagnostics already performed.
