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 Ricks saw both of my parents for years. He was caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. On one occasion, when my elderly father had been hospitalized for a long time due to a number of complications, Dr Ricks' nurse called his house one morning after he had been dischatged, and said that Dr Ricks would like to come to the house to check how he was doing. I was absolutely stunned! I didn't think that any doctors made house calls any more! Highly recommend him!
