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. P. is the BEST!
I have been a patient of Dr. P's for some time now. He always spends time with me and explains everything fully. I can tell that this Dr. actually cares about me and my health. I am 58 years old and have been to many different doctors, so I know a gem when I find one. So happy I have Dr. P. as my doctor.

The most caring Doctor that I have had in the past 10 years. Very professional. Very courteous. Very knowledgeable about my meds that I am on. He does his research to see if there is any interaction with any prescribed meds that I am on. Thank you Dr. P for being my doctor.
