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.

When I saw Dr. Chafe for the first time in the Emergency Room, he told me that my symptoms were not emergent. Then, he had the nurse come to ask me who prescribed my medication for me. When I told him that it was Samaritan, he looked in my record and wrote on my discharge paper that I needed to see my psychiatrist from twenty years ago. I saw him again in the Emergency Room ten months later, he did not come into the room but, when I left, he and the nurses sitting with him were all staring at me. One of the nurses said, sarcastically, See ya later.

I went in by ambulance because I fell and hit my head where my shunt is and not only was he very rude to me but poked my head and said well there is no bruising... you should have just stayed home and took pain meds...he didnt even xray it or anything... just sent me home...I could have died

Dr. Chafe is the worst doctor I have ever had. He gave me a hard time while I was very sick. He told me that all of my tests were normal but would not acknowledge a pending test. He wrote on my discharge paper that I should see a psychiatrist. I have several physical problems which are now being treated. Dr. Chafe should not have a medical license and should not be allowed near patients.
