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.

I have been going to Dr. O’Conner since he took over for Dr. Hargrove, several years ago. When I need him he is there. Very knowledgeable on Crohn’s disease. Thoro on colonoscopy and upper GI’s, easy to talk to. I hope he doesn’t retire early!
