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. Wilkerson was outstanding. His expertise allowed him to make a diagnosis with confidence and without doing a vast amount of extra, non necessary tests. He was up front and honest with the choices I had that allowed me to make the decision that was right for me. Within a VERY short time following the knee surgery I felt better than I had felt for a year and within 4-5 weeks I was fully recovered. Great experience with a GREAT doctor!!
