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.

Excellent. He did my open heart surgery in 2015.

I met dr pratt while he was assigned as the chief of thoracic & cardiac surgery fir both USAF medical center and UCDavis Medical . His reputation among nurses who worked .with him says he is the best of the best and saves lives. I can attest to his outstanding treatment care when i was battling a very rare and aggressive cancer. his personal dedication and immediate attention to detail. He was thorough and approachable. Am in 4 yrs remission because of Dr Pratt's foresightedness and expertz
