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.

Dedicated Professional
Dr. J is a very good listener and allows me to strategize with her. She makes me feel like a peer when discussing dietary concerns, OTC and prescription drugs prescribed by other doctors, and other food stuffs or supplements that may affect my treatment. She is a very dedicated doctor, and her'bedside manner' is superb!
