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.

My two kids, husband and myself are patients. Dr. Carstens continues to amaze me with her intelligence. She knows when to tell me I am being paranoid and she knows when to tell me my kid is really sick. My husband has a heart condition that she made sure to educate herself with. My son went in with a skin issue and she nailed it right away. My kids actually LOVE going to the Dr. She is fun and personable. She is up to date with the latest articles. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH. LOVE HER!
