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.

Best Doctor I have ever had
Dr Woodward is an amazing doctor- the kind you don't think are still out there. He is truly caring, and takes a lot of time with patients. He is very compassionate and knowledgeable. He personally called me to review my blood test results. He has treated both my husband and myself, and I would highly recommend!!

The Best Doctor Ever
Dr. Rivers Woodward is simply the best doctor I've ever had! During my first office visit he spent over an hour going over my medical history, took the time to listen to and answer all of my questions and to offer solutions. He is kind and personable and a wonderful communicator who made me feel at ease immediately. I never once felt rushed. Dr. Woodward is also an excellent communicator on the patient portal and is quick to respond to messages. when the visit was over, I felt cared for with a plan to improve my overall health. I highly recommend Dr. Rivers Woodward.

Dr. Woodward spent almost an hour with me on my first visit, and went in-depth into my medical history. He communicates well, listened actively, and was friendly and kind. He followed up labs with phone calls, and is accessible through the portal for any questions.
