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.

Would not recommend. Lacks compassion and genuine care for patients. Doesn’t review chart or even know why you are there when he walks into the room. Very bad experience over the course of several visits.

I was leary about seeing new doctor because my husband and I had several surgeries with Dr Hanks. However I was very pleased with Dr Rubbo. He was very caring and understanding. I would highly recommend him.
