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. Hale treated me in the ER when I required the insertion of a chest tube. He treated me for the yes me I was in the hospital and I saw home for a two week follow up. He was professional and friendly and took time to answer all my questions. I felt very comfortable in his care. I highly recommend him and would definitely return to him if I ever needed surgery in the future.

Dr. Hale was very good at explaining the necessary procedures and possible outcomes. He was very attentive and always came to the hospital or answered phone messages in a timely manner. I was very pleased with my treatment, surgery and post care.
