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. Mims is an amazing Doctor. I have been taking my child to him for over 10 years. He is a very thorough doctor and provides you with so much information regarding the child's condition and treatment options. His staff is amazing and Priscilla R his Office Manager is so sweet and kind. She is very helpful as well. I highly recommend this Doctor.
