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.

She is such a good doctor. I had such a bad prevuious experience with a nurse poractioner and some serious issues. She referred me to the specialists I needed and it was done very fast. When I got a notice medicare wouldnt cover certain meds her office handled everything and called me with a plan of action.
