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.

Dr Aitchison
The pre-surgery teaching for my living donor surgery was very complete. The actual surgery itself went very well. Dr. Aitchisons follow up was very thorough. Her bedside manner was fantastic and as a nurse of 42 years, I would highly recommend.

Dr. a took my appendix out via laparoscopic surgery today. She took a lot of her time to talk me down & address my concerns as I was very nervous. I'm feeling much better already & my incisions are very discreet.
