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.

Dr. Emerton provides the most thorough evaluation of patients each and every time you visit. He doesn't hesitate to refer you, at least in my particular case, to the best specialist in either the local area or as far away as necessary to treat your medical issues. He is the best General Practitioner I have had in a great many years. When you are in your senior years, as I am, it gives you great confidence knowing you will be evaluated and either treated or referred as necessary. Thank you Dr. Emerton.

Office staff can make or break a doctor. This office staff is extremely rude. I visited his practice once and left never to return after experiencing his rude office staff. My husband continued to go there. Now that the PA retired, my husband will be leaving finally. I am so glad my husband will be changing doctors. If the doctor cannot that see his staff are the problem, he needs a reality check.

Doctor Emerton is a great Doctor but his staff is horribly rude. They even will snap and yell at you when they get in "one of their attitudes". I've been treated incredibly rude by Amy the nurse and the front desk receptionist on more than one occasion. Also if you ever see another Doctor for anything, they will not see you again. I was never told that there so when they couldn't take my new insurance I saw someone else once. Decided I would rather pay Emerton out of pocket and they said no.
