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. Hovey has been so kind and helpful. I have always felt comfortable and at ease with her. She is encouraging, straight forward and explains thing in simple terms easily to be understood. I would never hesitate to recommend her.

She’s been my OBGYN for over 10 years now. She’s seen me though 4 pregnancies, as well as other gynecological issues . She is one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve known. When I lost a twin pregnancy (only one was viable), she was so empathetic and comforting. She always remembers my husband and my kids. What we do for a living and details of my life. She truly cares. She is quick often times but she’s also a very skilled and therefore in demand physician. She does her best to fit as many ladies in as she can, her schedule is super full. Give her grace for the schedule and limited time, it’s worth it. She’s amazing.

Dr Hovey is cold, quick and treats you like a dollar sign. In and out. No personal comnection, doesn't seem to care about the patient. Would not recommend her if you had ANY other option!
