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.

Was sad. Made me feel like a child. Very rude.

I'm completely missing my old Dr. Dr Rankin was not a nice person. No bedside manner what so ever. I will not be going back to him ever.

He wasnt there today and I was told he went somewhere else. I will miss him dearly. He explained things to me and my husband and made us feel as much at ease as possible. His staff is top notch. Sometimes the shots were uncomfortable but today they hurt like hell with the new doctor.
