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.

Fabulous
I called Dr. Bush because of lost hearing in my right ear. He fit me into his schedule that afternoon. He prescribed treatment for wax buildup in my ear and removed the wax and restored my hearing two days later. He and his staff were efficient and compassionate. I felt respected and very taken care of.

Unprofessional receptionist
Rude, unprofessional, lazy staff and receptionist. I called several times to make an appointment without success. They kept telling me that they would call me back to schedule an appointment. But I never received a call from the doctor's office.

I suffered from vertigo for several years. I went to urgent care, emergency room services and no one could figure it out so I suffered off and on for years. I had another round of this and went to primary doctor who suggested I see Dr. Bush. I went to Dr. Bush and within 20 minutes he told me what was wrong with my inner ear and even though it couldn't be permanently fixed he gave me ways to deal with the symptoms. My greatest relief was someone could finally tell me what was wrong.
