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. D' is one of the VERY best out there. In my 61 years, I have been to so many Primary Care Dr.s, that I cannot count. Dr. D. is compassionate, thorough, attentive, knowledgeable, and willing to keep going to find the answer to the problem. He is not an insurance kisser, whatever needs to be done, gets done. He has a wonderful, friendly bedside manner and is very personable. It is always a pleasure to have an appointment with him and his staff is warm and caring and very competent. Love them.
