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.

This was my wife's primary Dr, she loved our Dr so much, that I made he'd my Primary.

I'm a deaf woman and everyone is always respectful of my communication needs. I also have a tbi which affects my memory, and notes are always taken for my understanding.

Dr. Purtteman is always wonderful. She remembers prior visits, references my chart as needed and my concerns are always handled with great care. I highly recommend her to friends and family. She is everything a doctor should be. Her MA this visit was also wonderful and did a great job with my rooming.
