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.

Only issue was IV needle insertion in hand very painful - probably hasn't done very often. I use Lidocaine on hand before needle (IV) insertion.

Didn't explain exactly what the test she ordered for me involved. When they called to schedule I was shocked. Just thought it would be therapy and not in Minneapolis.
