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.

The best doctor I’ve ever had
He is my favorite doctor of all time. He is the friendliest and has the best sense of humor. He truly cares about his patients.

Doctor Illingsworth’s contract was not renewed! Humm I wonder why?? My sister was under his care when he was let go, my sister was not notified! Long story short my sister is DEAD! She was left sick, and panicked trying to find help. Time dragged on in her suffering. She didn’t survive.

I am a few years past however I would like to thank Dr. Illingworth for the exceptional care and support when I delivered my daughter. I had an emergency c-section and almost a hysterectomy. Dr. Mike was able to save my uterus that had completely stopped contracting because it was worn out. He did a massage for almost an hour and it FINALLY started working again. A nurse came to my room the next day and said she had never seen such a miracle take place in the OR. Thank you for being my hero ??

I absolutely love Dr.Illingworth. I have PCOS & Endometriosis, and for years have been told by other doctors either I'm a hypochondriac or there's no point in trying to treating it at all. I have never been able to find someone who actually gives me the help I need until I met Dr.Illingworth. He listens to me, BELIEVES me, and HELPS me. I have had so much improvement from his care in these last few months than I've had in years. 10/10 love him, and would recommend!

I was very disappointed. I am a new patient I made the appointment two weeks in advance, The Dr was not available to see me. I did see a PA after an hour and a half wait and had a very disappointing exam. I did not get what I felt to be a thorough exam and my questions and concerns were not appropriately handled. Dr. Illingworth was recommended to me highly from someone I trust. I was given a prescription however it was never called in and when I called to check on it there is no record of it..
