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.

If you make it past the mean residents, you'll have a good surprise. Dr. H is very knowledgeable and committed to helping his patients.

Dr. Hedges is literally no less than a genius. Without his expert knowledge, experience and advice, I may not have vision in my left eye today. I will continue to sing his praises and recommend him to anyone who may be in need of his services.

This guy is a hack. He doesn't want to listen to a word the patient says. It's all about money to him. Plus, if you see any doctor in his office, be prepared to pay $25 extra for a facility fee. They, of course, won't mention this to you.
