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.

Condescending and arrogant
Dr Tupper is the worst doctor I have ever encountered. He is arrogant, dismissive, rude, and judgmental. To make a long story short I had an allergic reaction to a medication. I developed black mouth sores, my lip tripled in size, and my throat tightened to the point I couldn’t eat or drink and struggled to breathe. He was so rude and insensitive. He wouldn’t let me finish telling him all of my symptoms. He asked me what medications I currently take, I told him and he said “Good god!” Before I could even finish. (I have autoimmune diseases and have to take medication for them.) Then tried to tell me it was a cold sore and his words “you’re getting yourself worked up over nothing.” I asked him what do I do and he said “I don’t know. Go home.” I said “my throat is so tight I can barely breathe.” He said “if your throat was closed you wouldn’t be talking.” Then walked out the room. I left in tears.

I Had a bad case of nonsexually transmitted PID related to my IUD. went to Methodist Germantown ER & wanted the device taken out because of pain, nausea & low temp.i had no insurance to see an OBGYN. I was already on 2 antibiotics from prior ER visit. he didn't bother to talk to me except say the ER didn't take out IUDs, even with GYN on call. He ASSUMED I was promiscuous because the antibiotics are used for STDs. If he had bothered to talk to me, he would've known better. He's a jerk.
