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.

This was a video visit.

The first thing that stood out was how patient she was, when we couldn’t get the connection to work. I was feeling pretty lousy since I had just been diagnosed with Covid that day. Having the audio and video part of the appointment was essential, therefore we both had to try various things to make it work. Finally with the help of an expert (my husband) he was able to hook us up. My case was a little complicated because, due to some other medications that I am on I wasn’t able to take the main medication that people are treated with for Covid, Paxlovid. Dr. Line barger knew enough about medications to prescribe another way to treat the Covid. Since I was feverish, I realize that I asked her a lot of questions about how to take the medication. She was very calm and reassuring that I would get well from this, even though I wasn’t able to take the main medication.
