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.

He questioned with curiosity. Not with preconceived assumption. The physician drew out my husband In such away my husband gave description to his responses. Thus coming to a clear analysis of my husband's medical condition, desires and ambitions & hopes.

Dr. Ott encouraged me to ask questions. He personally called my wife and put her on speaker so that he and I could include her in how and when I will receive my heart surgery. He has a great sense of humor and a very comforting manner. He will have my life in his hands and I trust him implicitly.
