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.

Outstanding Doctor
One if my dearest older friends had the experience of having Dr. Alexander care for her on a trip to the ER following surgery. He was absolutely the best ever, he took time to review the records pertaining to her recent cancer surgery, talked to her with compassion and caring. She had an issue with blood pressure arise. Dr. Alexander was going off duty, however came back in the ER room, sat with her , ordered meds saw to it they were given and waited until the situation was resolved. He consoled her and gave such assurances that helped get things back on track. No one could ever ask for more. What a blessing he is to his profession and patients.

What Amazing Care and Compassion
I was an ER patient at the Cox hospital system in Springfield, MO. By a guiding angel, my ER doctor was Sam. He managed my ER needs which were fairly complex with the utmost experience and communication. He coordinated specialist care and got me the medical care I needed that day and set me up with the specialist who has continued to work thru my needs. The day after I got home from the ER, Sam called me to check on my condition. Have you ever had that type of follow up? Well I can say that he continues to do follow up calls checking with me to ensure I am getting the right care and making improvements. Never met anyone in the medical field who has showed such care, kindness and expertise. If you ever find yourself in need of ER, go to Cox South and if you have a guiding angel, you too may meet him to help your serious needs Respectfully, Kristie
