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.

My second procedure with Dr. Badger and his staff in the past 3 months and once again I found both he and his staff to offer exceptional care in every way! They were able to get me in last minute and took the time to make sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Very kind and efficient service as well!

Minor surgery to remove a cyst
Dr. Badger was on time, easy to talk to, let me know exactly what to expect and kept checking in with me during the procedure. I’d definitely recommend him. His nursing staff was warm and caring.
