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.

Wow ‘ I was really hopeful.
Was treated like I was a harden criminal by the nasty receptionists. Not a RN mind you, a receptionist. I saw Dr Papa who is included in this practice by the way is only a D.O. Not a MD. Dr Papa prescribed me a medication that should not be given to a person who has heart issues, as I do. I went on vacation and I was told I could not get my prescription early. Ok that was fine drove back from vacation 200 miles to pick up my medication only to be told by the pharmacist that my perscription has expired because it was 5 days since Dr Papa called it in. So I called Dr Papa, talked to receptionist. Of course I was upset I drove 200 miles back from vacation to get my medication. The receptionist yelled at me said I was abusing my medication. Ok I’m even more upset by what she said to me, to the point I was in tears. Receptionist told me to calm down or she wouldn’t call in my script at all. Ok crying more now. I said ok cool keep it! So know help at all with my situation & treated awful

Hypocrite Oath
Directed at his colleague and staff. Because I don't believe that one failed drug test because of a toothache should get you kicked out of your addiction treatment. If it wasn't for this I would rate her five stars all day every rating Dr website around.

If I could, I'd give this guy a -0. He put me on Latuda for anxiety/OCD telling me how great the medication was, how he gave talks about it. After 6 months of taking this med, I went to Ivins and told him I was experiencing weird leg and butt movements. His eyes glazed over and he told me it was stress. The condition got worse and moved to my feet, toes and hands. I went back to him monthly complaining of these symptoms and each time he told me it was stress-related. I thought I was going crazy. My therapist advised me to see a psychiatrist and when I told him of my symptoms, he said, "You have tardive dyskinesia. It's from the Latuda." I immediately stopped taking the med, and asked Ivins for my records. My complaints and symptoms weren't even on my medical records! It just said, "Latuda working well." When I talked to him, he said he knew it was the Latuda, but he wanted to wait to see if the symptoms would clear up!! I said, "That's not your call to make!!" He had no answer as to wh

Dr. Ivins has been my primary care physician for about 25 years now, he is very knowledgeable and really listens to you, and doesn't try to rush the appointment as many doctors do. He's awesome!

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Seth Ivins since the late 80s. He has always treated us good and he is very knowledgeable in his treatments. He has gotten so busy that he brought on Dr. Judy Lim and she is really great. When it is your turn to be seen, they both give you all the time needed to go over your need/s.
