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.

My last review was not accurate. I meant to say that I have never left an appointment without feeling better than when I arrived. Dr. Rivara always makes me feel like my concerns are valid, when most of the time they are not.

The care I got from Dr. Rivara was beyond stellar. She has left St. Mary's Medical Group as of September 2016 and I am still trying to find her again. I loved her.
