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. MacDonald was such a wonderful help, and I look forward to seeing her in the future.

I felt Dr. MacDonald was very caring, considerate and had a great bedside manner. I felt very comfortable talking with her and she made me feel like my helpless. What mattered to her. She took ample time in going over my concerns and making sure to answer my questions. I feel very confident with her care.
