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. Justus has been treating my husband who has severe ulcerative colitis. I can't speak highly enough about his attentiveness, skill and insights. He's provided us with a clear treatment plan for a condition that 3 other doctors missed. He is straightforward and takes the time to explain things to both my husband and myself. Some doctors pretend I'm not there even though I'm the caregiver and important. I highly recommend him.

Passively getting paid. I received an upper endoscopy and was prescribed omeprazole for acid reflux and saw the doctor intermittently for 2 years. When pressed, he suggested I double the dose of omeprazole for permanent acid reduction. When I finally gave up and saw a new doctor, he scoffed at the idea of curing acid reflux with a high dose of omeprazole. The problem was solved with a new anti-depressant, an area he never explored with me.

Dr. Justus exhibits all the qualities you want, and need, in a physician. He is skilled, sensitive, and thorough. He also listens intently and cares. He has performed my upper endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures so he knows me from end to end. I would recommend him highly to friends and family. Overall, he is outstanding and I consider myself fortunate to have him as my physician.
