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.

Very "user friendly" general practitioner. Knowledgeable, but not snotty about it. Uses common sense in addition to medical knowledge, resulting in an easily understandable approach to patient care. Projects a competent, friendly way of putting patients at ease, while assuring and proving a full understanding of medical events. ("Almost wizard-like.")
