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.

Devotion, patience and kindness. Also complete confidence in his advice.

Dr. Colvard and his staff were so prompt and attentive to my needs. Even before I could leave the office they had scheduled additional tests and set up a referral appointment to a specialist. My concerns became their concerns.

Not good. I thought I had an appointment to see the doctor. The staff was completely non responsive. Especially the lady at the front desk. Finally spoke to a nurse. She was no help so I left.

I come from a family of doctors and it has been a little hard trying to find a good doctor here, near my house, who is also accepting new patients. I read Dr. Colvard's reviews and decided to give it a try- I am very impressed! Dr Colvard is very thorough, knowledgeable and great follow up. He takes his time to listen, right to the point and he does not miss anything.

First the good. Colvard is a wonderful doctor! I'd totally go back to him if he were elsewhere. That said, two things were an issue: First, I was scheduled wrongly twice and the last time when I tried to figure out a date that worked the office manager cocked an attitude with me over the phone because nothing would work and wouldn't even admit they messed up. It's not my fault...if you have to stay later on Friday to get me in I'm sorry, not my mistake. That said though, she's only been doing

I have had nothing, but wonderful experiences with Dr. Colvard. He is very thorough, listens, cares, and explains anything and everything. He takes time with his patients and really listens to your concerns. He makes sure to cover all the bases and works with you. He also gets to know his patients. Not only is he great though I love all of his staff. They are always so nice and they make sure you are taken care of as well. They fix issues quickly too.
