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.

Rude and Arrogant
This was 20 years ago so she may have changed but I doubt it. I had just moved, searching for job so no insurance. I had undiagnosed Raynaud's which caused ulcers in 6 fingers. Horrible pain and I was terrified. Fingers were literally rotting. She examined me in the ER, diagnosed eschemia & admitted me knowing I had no insurance. Did angiography to check for blockages. After a week of treatment, healing was very painful. I lost the corner of 1 finger. I told Dr Jones I worried about work if I couldn't use a keyboard. She said You can always be a Walmart greeter. That HURT. I asked her for the results of the angiography and she refused; If I wanted it I could pay someone to read it for me. She treated me like dirt, I guess she thought she'd never be paid. A year later I had a major heart attack. I blame her negligence in not sharing my test results. I paid every penny back in five years. Then went on to be an IT support supervisor. I'm still bitter about her superior attitude.
