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.

Should have written down everything that was going on with my surgery, because he had forgotten everything that I had told him at my last appointment! I know it's not his fault, he has so many patients!

Truly incredible experience as far as doctor visits go. They are so friendly, got me in so quickly and the doctor actually let me talk and explain my problem. Shortly afterwards, he did an exam and told me a diagnosis. He spent a ton of time explaining everything to me and made me feel confident that I knew what was going on and what we are going to do to fix it. I really appreciate it!
