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.

Definitely second string
The surgeon we selected and waited many weeks to see was “ in surgery”. We selected him because of his superior background and education. Dr Unger was well, “meh”would be too kind. He clearly did not want to help us and rushed out of the room as fast as he could. His education and experience are below inferior. When someone’s life is at stake, Dr Unger could at least pretend to care. But he was not even civil. Not impressed and very frightened that this is the best Sentara could come up with.
