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.

I really like Dr Callahan. He's had injuries himself so he gets it. I didn't really get an explanation of why my knee suddenly started hurting, or confirmation that my suspicions about why it was hurting were correct or incorrect. But I got the treatment plan I had hoped for. Bless him, he talks a million miles an hour and thinks it all out loud so all I had to do is sit there and smile.

The Dr spoke very quickly without many breakshe was clear but would be nice to slow down and pause more often to make sure questions can be asked along the way.
