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.

Best of the BEST!
Dr. Pophal took the time to explain everything in terms that I could understand. He did so well that even nearly 10 years later, I can describe to new Dr's what my daughter's diagnosis was and the procedures performed. He was caring and compassionate during a very stressful time. Thank you!
