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.

Run!
She treated me like I was seeking hard core drugs when I came in after a tick bite. I don’t take antibiotics unless they are the very last resort. I don’t even take Advil!! She yelled at me and was sighting outdated CDC guidelines. She was rude and clearly didn’t give two cents about my care.

Proceed with caution! She prescribed Lithium and didn't do any blood tests to check my levels. This is a serious departure from the standard of care.
