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.

End of life experience
The trauma of losing my husband and my dad in the same day under Dr. Gatske's care became far more difficult than necessary. Poor communication and stinging comments.

To the absolute horror and heartbreak of our family, Dr. Gatzke has been assigned to the "care" of my son in law, and Father of seven children. She has decided he must die, despite the fact he has made it clear repeatedly, he wishes to live with his condition. She is not a physician practicing her Hippocratic Oath, she is your worst nightmare, completely devoid of compassion and respect for human life. Dr. Gatzke, you are not God. That position was filled long ago.
