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 only seen Dr Collins once since I’m a new patient. However I have another appointment next month. We were so impressed that my husband will also see Dr. Collins as well. This is the first time in a long time that I felt heard. Dr Collins is a caring doctor. The office staff is caring too. I’m so thankful that I’ve found someone to help me. Eric, front office staff worked it out so my hubby and I can see Dr Collins at my next appointment. This is particularly helpful since we live in Paducah.
