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.

Great Dr
Dr T has been our GP for close to 20 years. I hope he doesn’t retire until after I die. He is the best.

HORRIBLE Experience
Schedule an appointment only to cancel when I am in the waiting room. This is after confirming the week of the appointment. Avoid.

My husband and I both see Dr. Taagen. We have been seeing him for approximately 15 years. He has been excellent. He asked us plenty of questions and always make us feel that he cares. Sharron Coleman and John Vitek.

Dr Taagen was my PCP for 10 years. He is extremely smart and a great lateral thinker. Great listener, has a strong opinion as well - hard to find in the same doctor. For example, he advised me to get a colonoscopy at 47 - a bit earlier than traditional medical practice dictates (newer research says to do earlier) recommends but he derived that opinion based on some symptoms we discussed in a visit. The colonoscopy caught a number of benign polyps that may have been real issues at 50 when many of the books say to get it done. You will be no better hands.
