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. Bean is an excellent provider. It’s very difficult in my area to find a pcp comfortable treating my conditions; Dr. Bean has taken the time to listen to me carefully and we’ve developed an excellent, trusting rapport.

I’ve been seeing Dr Bean since 1995. I’ve always received excellent care from him and his staff. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I went to Dr. Bean years back crying, needing help with mental health problems associated with being abused sexually, physically and mentally by my stepfather. Dr. Bean just said he could not help me. He appeared to be aggravated with my coming to him with this. He walked out of the patient room and left me sitting there!!! No referral or guidance as to what steps I should take!!! 9/19/2018
