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. West prescribed clindamycin an antibiotic that I did not need; she prescribed it before she received lab results. As it turns out I did not even have an infection and needed no antibiotic. To make matters worse, clindamycin should only be used with life-threatening infections. As a result of this antibiotic I got a c-difficile infection that almost killed me. I am now at risk for a c-difficile infection every time I take antibiotic. All a result of Dr. West's incompetence. Beware!
