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. Rita Watkins is an excellent physician! She truly takes time to listen to your concerns. She has been my physician for over 30+ years. My ONLY concern is that she works three (3) days per week, and since I can't schedule when I will be sick, it is difficult to see her consistently.
