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.

Dr. Budge is the GOAT
Dr. Budge always explains things in detail and performs his assessment patiently. If he thinks there are certain things that need to be double checked, he will take his time but always give you a comprehensive assessment. It is always a pleasure meeting with him.
