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. Tatum is extremely knowledgeable. He is empathic & very professional & spends whatever time you need. If possible l would place Dr. Tatum in a copy machine & press 100. We need more physicians like him.

This was my first appt with Dr Tatum's office. Physician Assistant Chelsea really listened to my concerns. She was very thorough with ordering necessary tests, and she called in prescriptions which I was able to pick up at my pharmacy almost as soon as I left the office. I felt very satisfied with care received.
