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.

Very friendly and knowledge

Dr.Preston is a great listener. She is very direct and to the point. I am actually too young to be under her care and she told me soo. I refuse to leave her and I have been with her for 4 years now. I love her energy and politeness. She actually sits down and have a conversation with you.

We always have a great visit
We would not want to anyone else but Dr. Preston. She takes time to listen to you and if you have any question she makes sure you understand. She also has a great person personality. She is a old school doctor that really cares and is always available. Most doctors want you in and out as fast as possible not Dr. Preston. She is GREAT my husband and I are very lucky to have as our doctor

A doc who is smart, flexible, AND listens!
I had three different health issues that required coordination with other health providers - no problem with Dr. Preston! Do you know how difficult something like that is ordinarily? Dr. Preston also remembers issues- including mental health - from one visit to the next and follows up, even if I don not mention it (or try to avoid it). I also appreciate that she is conservative in her suggestions - we try the simple and less expensive approach first.
