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.

Very Impressed
I have never severely burned myself before so I didn’t know what to expect. Dr. Hughes was very friendly, compassionate, and made me at ease to discuss my treatment and care. I’m glad he is my burn doctor and I would recommend him to anyone.
