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.

Compassionate
My 93 year old mother was in the hospital with a heart problem which we later learned was going to be fatal. Dr. Chesson gave her care that went way beyond the call of her medical duty. She was compassionate, helpful to the family and most important, took the time to listen and converse with my elderly mother. She is a credit to the medical profession. More doctors should have her patience and concern.

Dr. Sullivan is an amazingly sharp physician. There is an old joke when considering doctors: "Remember that 50% of all doctors were in the bottom half of their class." I don't know Dr. Sullivan's class ranking, but as a Registered Nurse, I am confident Dr. Sullivan was probably in the top 10-25%. She's super sharp.
