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.

How many stars is 'WAY ABOVE 'above and beyond'' ?
Dr. Sanders is an excellent pulmonologist to speak with about any aspect of your lung health. He is knowledgeable about the latest research and he has a solid foundation in the foundational areas that are of most concern to patients. His manner is relaxed and tremendously reassuring. I always breathe easier after I have had an appointment with him.

Dr. Sanders went above and beyond my expectations when I recently visited WCM without an appointment, ordering an x-ray and administering a test himself.
