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 man sure makes shame on the medical profession and the clinic he works for. He is rude, nasty, walks around with no shoes, doesn't read MRI films correctly and on and on. I can say he's the worse dr I've ever seen. The people of Olympia are kind and empathetic but this guy is a monster. He only read one picture of my MRI and incorrectly read it then he questions the validity of my illness. Stay away!
