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.

Wow, it's painful to read these negative reviews! My experience is VERY different. Despite the fact that the medical insurance companies make it necessary for ALL doctors to cram too many patient visits into their day, Dr. Offensend is first class: thorough, kind, and knowledgable. He's more than patient with the many questions I ask. I actually don't care how personable the office staff is at any doctor's office because, if you're seeing a really good doctor, his/her staff is usually crazy busy. I find it's really easy to cut through all that this with just a smile and a kind word.
