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.

Dr Gwartney listened and was not rushed during my visits. He found a very rare cancer under my jaw that other doctors missed. He performed a successful operation and discussed treatment options in an easy to understand language. I’m still under his care. I highly recommend him.

Dr Gwartney performed a septoplasty and turbinoplasty on me August 14. Today is September 5 and I am completely healed and can breathe better than ever!! Throughout the entire process he was very kind, informative and made me feel like I was his most important patient! He patiently explained everything and answered any questions I had. I never waited over 15 minutes and the entire staff was wonderful!

Very professional! Took time to explain things. Came by and talk to me and the family before the procedure to make sure we were all comfortable and if we had any more questions before he began removing the left side of my thyroid. After the procedure was done, and spent a good 15-20 minutes with the family explaining the details of the surgery and delivered the good news that I was in recovery.
