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. Lorelei is the reason I am able to successfully breastfeed my baby. At the hospital I was told I would "probably never breastfeed" due to hypoglandular tissue and a baby that did not successfully latch. Dr. lorelei saw me on an emergency basis the very day I left the hospital to start formulating a plan. Her emotional support and concrete action plan resulted in a baby with a healthy latch and my milk supply greatly increasing so I can combination feed my baby. I am so grateful to her!
