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’ve been under Dr.Rickman’s care since I was a child. I’m 34 years of age. He’s very understanding about his patients. He knows his patients. Rickman has never came in a room and never had a smile that could light up a room. He makes sure his patients are healthy and taken good care of before you leave the office.
