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.

I’ve only been seeing Dr Gore for a short time, but every time, she makes me feel welcomed and valued. She listened, cares, and explains things very clearly. I feel very comfortable in her presence and I’m glad I chose her as my doctor.

So grateful for Dr. Gore!!
Dr. Gore is seriously THE BEST doctor I’ve had in my life and I’ve been on the planet 53 years. She is compassionate, curious, and supportive! She listens and I mean she really listens. And feel fully supported by her and know she has my best interest at heart. She is focused on me, addressing current issues and preventing disease. We talk, and together determine the best care plan for me…and I continue to feel this way with each visit. I am beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Knowledgeable and Welcoming
Dr. Gore has a great way of talking with you, not at you to explain medical conditions in a way that's informational without being overwhelming. And she has a very reassuring energy that makes me feel comfortable enough to tell her anything without judgment.

Dr. Gore ROCKS!
We recently found her and reviews speak! She knows her stuff and is so very kind. I trust her and she is our new family doctor. Our previous doctor moved last year. Dr. Gore is informative, calming, matter-of-fact, and deliberate. Everything she has suggested has been spot on. She is worth the wait! We love her!

Dr. Gore always provides me first of all with a very positive attitude. She is patient, kind, and listens to my concerns. Then, she takes the necessary steps to diagnose and treat my conditions. She also spends whatever time is needed to makes sure that ALL of my concerns are addressed while never making me feel rushed. Dr. Gore recently discovered a heart condition that has gone untreated for a long time and could have been catastrophic. Thank you Dr. Gore!!Y
