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.

Attentive Physician
Dr. Linger always takes time to address all my concerns and questions. He always individualizes each visit and I never feel like a number in his day. Dr Linger and his staff are amazing to work with and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to take control of their weight.

Had to have surgery due to cancer. Dr. Longer was very thorough and thoughtful. He goes the extra mile for his patients. He has a terrific bedside manner. He makes sure you are clear every step of the way. I'd send all my friends and family to him. Absolute blessing.
