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. Bauknight is a brilliant surgeon with very steady hands. He has successfully performed a cardiac ablation and implanted a "watchman" that allowed me to stop taking expensive blood thinners while protecting me from blood clots and stroke.

Was not prepared to see me upon entering, shuffling through papers/records for 5 minutes. Dr Bauknight was short, abrupt, and extremely tense for whatever reason without his ever previously meeting me or even before discussion of my case! Bad day? He would interrupt and ask questions about a conditions doctors should be familiar with, asking me to explain and expecting me to know medical terminology. Very stressful visit for a cardiologist!
