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.

Along with prayers, this doctor saved my life! He called several heart specialists & talked with them about the situation. He went over all the options with me because of the seriousness of the heart condition. He cares about all his patients and is very knowledgeable about all their health issues. Excellent doctor!!

A rare find; A doctor who listens to you. I know he's highly thought of for his cardiac expertise, and I know he has many many patients, but the time he is with you, he makes you feel like you are the only one that matters
