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.

Patient Beware
Clean bill of health? More like ACUTE LEUKEMIA.I was given a clean bill of health by Dr Boxum. With that being said I had to call several times to even get the results and when I did all I got was 'Doctor says your good just make sure to take your antibiotics.' I didn't feel like that was correct based off of how I was feeling so I went to get a second opinion.Turns out I have an acute leukemia (AML) and definitely was not alright. I am currently sitting in a cancer ward and will be for the next several weeks as I receive aggressive treatments.If I would have listened to Dr. Boxum I would probably be sitting in a morgue instead of fighting for my life. As of now I have a fighting chance and WILL NOT be returning to his office to receive medical care.

Michael has been my doctor for years and my dads for longer. His skills and view on medical issues is unmatched. He listens to me and has helped me get past several medical conditions, he found the problem and fixed it. He’s the only doctor I truly trust. His staff is kind to me and so is his nurse.

Dr Michael is kind and listens well. He is very thorough and compassionate. I waited about 4 months and called regularly before finally getting in to see him but it was worth the wait. My only suggestion is to avoid the office staff at all costs except one young girl who will do all she can to accomplish what the others will not. There are 2 women who answer the telephones who are rude and unpleasant. Don't let them keep you from seeing Dr Mike and his nice, helpful nurse. They are great!

Have been seeing doctor for about 2 years now. He's been great at helping me manage a chronic condition and get well when I'm sick. Very thorough and doesn't just consider 1 cause of a problem but looks at all the contributing factors. Very caring.
