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.

I drive from NWA for this doctor
Dr Akkad is the absolute best. Very compassionate and understanding with amazing bedside manner. To say if you ever need the best surgeon available it is Dr Akkad is an understatement. He is far and beyond in his field.
