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.

Your emergency room team is to be commended. They were truly wonderful. Everyone was very professional and nice. We're very nice.

He was very friendly but I can't really comment on much else as he is a surgeon and he hasn't operated on me yet... And after we met, I think I've only been talking to his nurse aid person.
