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.

This appointment felt rushed compared to other appointments I've had at the clinic.

Dr Starnes was great! First Time we have seen him, So we didn't know who he was or what to expect. We both really liked him and would definitely see him again! Also, there was a glitch in the telephone system that morning, which is why I rated the ease of scheduling out of three. When I couldn't get through on the phone, I called the care team to ask a question and the woman I spoke to was able to schedule me right there, which was unexpected and extremely appreciated!

Dr. Starnes spent good amount of time with us during routine checkup, knew about I (mother's) health and info regards to breastfeeding while taking medications, reassured me. He verbally articulated what he observed during check- up (some providers do not, and assume that because this is my 3rd child, I know what I am doing and therefore have fewer concerns.) Dr. Starnes listened well, and respectfully advised about my reservations about certain vaccination. He also provided info about help our family could look into, as job loss has affected our income and affording food. In routine surveys before checkups- other Drs.did not address this- when I selected that in the last 6 months, our family has sometimes been unable to afford food. Also, other Drs. Have not asked about my (mother's) mental health, when I have filled out in the well-child exam survey that I have felt depresse...
