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. Waters performed the circumcision on our baby boy. He was a home birth so it was difficult finding a pediatrician willing to help us because most will only work with patients that they deliver. Dr. Waters. helped us make an educated decision without prejudice. She was so gentle with our baby and gave us her full attention. We were very pleased with her professional and caring spirit.
