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.

Several times recently I have not been able to get an appointment. If you need a physical better book 1 yr. in advance. Called to get in and was told she was booked, not in the next day, etc.... Offered the NP in 2 days - Had to go to Urgent Care that day and hopefully they prescribed the correct med. knowing my full health history - at least I was not denied access to a Doctor.
