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.

Will definitely go back

The good experience is you're not rushed, you're actually listen to and things are explained like they should be. This is the way it should always be.

I was in for pre-op for a colonoscopy & in the conversation on my general health I mentioned my hip bothering me & he thought it might be in my best interest to have an X-RAY. It turned out, it was worse than expected & showed I need hip replacement at a later date. He was very attentive to my health needs.
