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.

Let me tell you! Dr B used a palate expander to allow all my daughter's teeth to fit in her mouth without any removed prior to braces installation. Her teeth were so horribly crooked before Dr. B initiated work. Now some 15 years later, she is a beautiful young lady and an incredible success story.

This doctor performed work that made my face look older, angry, and even homlier than before. I think he was trying to save my family money, or trying to get what money he felt he could reasonably get from us and it produced a horrific result. Even strangers make derogatory comments about my face every time I am in public. I am humiliated by how I look and it has affected every aspect of my life. I wish he had presented all of my options to me instead of just the cheapest and easiest for him.
