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.

I'd give more stars because the doctor and NP have been decent. But the office help and receptionists are incredibly rude and unprofessional. This is a doctor's office, not a Used Car Junk yard, but some of the help even cuss when talking to you and are insulting. Off the charts!

Had an appointment at 10:30. Waited an hour and a half & still did not get in. They called 2 people in that came in after me. Should not have to wait that long to get in to see the doctor. Not a friendly staff!!

This office is absolutely ridiculous . Had an appointment for a week and a half. They call to change the appointment to the following Monday. I call back to see if we could do a different day they don't even have me in there schedule because they don't have a computer. Receptionist tells me they just hand write the appointments and somebody must of spelled my name wrong. Needless to say our whole family will be finding a new doctor.
