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. Mary is amazing
Dr. Mary is hands down, the BEST doctor I have EVER seen in general- not just as an OBGYN. She truly loves and cares about the work she is doing, and it shows. Dr. Mary spent the full appointment listening, talking to me and making sure I was comfortable with every step. My only regret is not finding her sooner. We need more physicians like her! I would recommend her to anyone with OBGYN needs.

Super impressed
I have only seen her once, but I can't think of anything she could have done better - her professionalism, knowledge, clarity, genuine and caring engagement - all top notch. She gave me feedback in such a respectful and empowering and fair way - it allowed me to make choices I feel very good about. She told funny stories and has a warm and comfortable relationship with her staff. Plus she has a value system that she acts on - like she is actively investing in helping women who are underserved. It is amazing to have a doctor that I also admire as a person. I am 100% on board. I was seen in her in her RV/mobile office - and honestly I thought it was super cool! :D
