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.

Dr Chaffee had been my primary care doctor for a few years and I thought he was great. However since the pandemic he seems very unconcerned with my issues. My blood sugar and blood pressure are all over the place and he just smiles.

Dr. Chaffee reviewed my chart after I left his office and found something another Dr. couldn't figure out in several visits/years! I then was pleasantly surprised with a referral to a gastroenterologist. I was initially told I just had heart burn but Dr. Chaffee figured out my bile ducts are enlarged and I am now finally pursuing adequate treatment. Without him I could of gone on for several more years without an answer. He is an amazing Dr. that truly cares about the wellbeing of his patients!

For a first visit I was disappointed and was expecting more from his bedside manner and possibly any sense of apathy or caring of my issues and concerns. He was very dry. Did not take the time to even listen to my concerns or learn my history face to face. He only read the notes of my symptoms I had written down for him and then he dictated the whole appoint in his microphone. Less then a 60 sec physical exam as well. I understand md's can be rushed but sadly he could do much better. Let down.

Very caring. Thoroughly explains the results of tests and the outcomes of proper habits and diet. My health has improved significantly since he became my primary care physician.
