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.

I have followed her to multiple practices. I’ve never found a better more caring Dr.

I tried to become a new patient. I am a Vietnam Veteran and retired US Army. I was told Dr. Clayton does not accept TriCare and thus I couldn't be seen.

This practice is a for-profit business not a "care-giver". Very unprofessional and non-caring. The worst medical practice ever experienced. Should close the business.

A good Doctor, who is tuned in to her patients needs,i couldn't find a better Doctor. I drive extra time just to see her even though pell city Northside is alot closer. I went through several Northside drs.before seeing Dr Clayton and she diagnosed me correctly on my first visit.This was after several months and several visits to several nearby Drs. Practically saved my life.
