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.

Outstanding Doctor
Dr Ketchmar has helped me tremendously with my two 98 year old parents. He is very knowledgeable and has given us great medical advice but also provided me with a partner to help navigate the choppy waters of old age. He is a delight and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his staff.

I am VERY surprised to see negative reviews for Dr. Josh. I have been a patient of his for the past year (unfortunately, didn't think about a review until recently) and he has NEVER made me feel uncomfortable or provided a misdiagnosis. Dr. Josh Kretchmar is always pleasant and tells me straight forward answers, without "beating around the bush". He's great and highly recommended!!!!!

avoid this doctor. His inexperience cause me don't have the right diagnostic, lead to I miss the best time for my treatment, result I suffer a lot of pain. He has humor, nice and listen to you. But with limited medical expertise, he was not able to treat my condition. waste of my time and money.

I have had a lot of medical issues in my past. Stress fractured back, knee issues, sprained ankles, anxiety, arthritis, etc. With all of these issues, I have seen a lot of doctors (too many to count). Dr. Kretchmar is by far my favorite cuz he cuts the crap and tells you how it is. He cares about you and suggests helpful solutions. He doesn’t push medication on to you, and provides you with helpful alternatives if that is what you are looking for. I no longer dread going to the doctor!

I would give zero star, if it is an option. When answering my questions about my health concern, he launched into these general personal comments/jokes, instead of providing his professional advice. I had to push him for the answer by saying "Can you answer my question about ...". So unprofessional. I could full appreciated a physician that is compassionate and friendly, but not a physician that is self absorbed. He should keep the flirtation to online dating.
