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 Stephen Western: “One of the worst”
He was at one time a good doctor. He is now one of the worst. He has become insensitive, cocky, and rude. His course and sarcastic attitude should keep most people away. I would never take a child to him. He has a snarky attitude and offers very little in the way of sound medical advice. Don’t waste your time with him.

The practice is small and that's the way I like it!!!! The receptionist is top drawer. She is very attentive to all details and, seemingly, can fix ANYthing. Dr. Western himself is quiet, alert and asks all the right questions. Thorough to the nth degree. I feel very comfortable with him and admire his ability to communicate in terms I/we can understand. He is up-to-date, takes his time. I trust him completely.

This doctor expressed a disturbing, unscientific theory about the origins of the coronavirus and indicated that he would not be recommending the vaccine to his patients. This strikes me as irresponsible and dangerous to the health of our community.
