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.

Today was my first visit with Dr Whaley. I was very anxious but immediately was greeted by the wonderful staff and felt much better. Dr Whaley was very thorough, does not rush you and listens to all questions. I loved his bedside manner, knowledge, his straightforwardness and empathy. I am so happy with my choice and had a wonderful experience with Dr Whaley.
