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.

Made time to answer all my questions
The day of my appointment was very busy at his office and the schedule was running late Dr Wirthlin made the time to answer every question I had about my upcoming surgery. Even though he was pressed for time I never felt like he rushed through anything. He is a considerate, knowledgeable, and thoughtful physician.
