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.

The most caring, best physician I have ever had
Brilliant physician. Conscientious. Kind. He really listens and truly cares about his patients. Great doctor for families and children!

Dr. Ness is a good doctor. Just don’t expect him to remember you. His front office staff and nurses have a long way to come. I have been a patient at his office since I was in middle school (now 30 years old). I never had any issues with the office until I had my own child 3 years ago. Dr. Ness came to the hospital to check my fresh baby and had no idea who I was, even though I had been his patient for 15 years. I am always waiting and waiting in the waiting room and exam room with my toddler. I’m never out of there in less than 2 hours. I have had complications with communication with office staff. The most recent being they sent blood work to both LabCorp and Pathology Associates (the later without my knowledge). Every bad experience I leave saying this is the last time we’re coming here but have always come back because we love Ness and his ARNPs. This lack of communication has left a bad taste in my mouth, that I can assure you I will not be going to Dr. Ness’ office for a remedy.

Has been my physician for over 30 years. He sincerely cares about his patients and spends time talking to you as a “ caring human being.” I couldn’t ask for a better physician! ????????

Poor time management. Pretends to be a great listener, but often does not get what is being said, especially pertaining to its health repercussions!!! Pretends to be a sensitive individual, but is frequently callous. Truly terrible experience over many years.
