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.

He seems very knowledgable and kind

Dr. Bates is a great doctor who treats you with concern, respect, compassion and kindness. He is thorough in his examinations and truly listened to what I had to say. He was not dismissive regarding my physical problems and I did not feel as though he was judging me. He has offered several types of treatment when one treatment didn’t work, he tried another. He has been successful in his treatment as my health challenges have changed.

Dr. Bates and staff are professional and compassionate. I had to travel frequently for work and he was always willing to work with my busy schedule. He also helped get my pain under control when I was barely functioning.
