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.
I followed up with Dr. Ruffin and he was knowledgeable about the treatment I was provided previously. I was clueless about using the STIMs unit, so I asked him to help me figure out how to use it correctly. Before I left the office, he made sure that I was able to use the device and understood my treatment plan going forward.
