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.

It's been a while but Dr Joustra delivered both my children and found my cancer. The quality of care was exceptional and he made sure I got all the help I needed with my cancer. As far as I am concerned, they don't get any better.

He and staff take a reasonable time to make sure you understand the condition diagnosed in "normal" words. Also, seems to make sure you understand the treatment and the consequences of the various choices.

We've been in Lamar for 4 years and Dr Joustra was originally referred to me 4 my elderly mother. He's wonderful with her, knows her history and treats her like a personal friend. His quick action and thorough ubderstanding of geriatric care, without a doubt, saved her life three years ago. I see him as well.
