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.

So grateful to be in the continuous wonderful care of Dr. Waggoner. He is a brilliant doctor, always considerate, kind, & patient . So blessed to have him with me during my journey with cancer.

Waggoner is a good dr until you start having problems then he just puts you on the back burner and will keep giving you false hope. When things start to get worst for you don’t wait on him to help to. Waggoner is not the best!!
