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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cotter?
This is the only doctor I have ever seen that was not interested in hearing a word I had to say. I mean everyone I opened my mouth this guy cut me off and wouldn’t be quiet himself. I wanted to have my ears checked didn’t happen, wanted to inquire about Chantix but nope, completely ignored that request and most was going for my back pain. Doc said take antimflamitories, no kidding doc, y didn’t I think of that before coming to see you. These people were awful and I have to pay them. Never again
