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. Turnbo has pulled me through so many things. He considers your feelings. He has took patience with me. He is a good Christian Man. He respects your feelings. If he sees you need a specialist he will send you to the one he feels like will do the best for you. Drs. Like this is hard to find. You consider them more than a dr. But more like a friend. Someone you can talk to and someone who listens. I feel like God has blessed me with him. Thank you so very much.
