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
From the moment I walked in the front door every single employee was so friendly and welcoming! Dr. Cory in particular has an excellent bed side manner and was very informative! He is so knowledgeable that he explained things that you could easily understand! So happy I got a second opinion and went to Core!
