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 visited Dr. Truitte today to accompany my 87 year old Father with ailing health. I have never meet a more personable, relatable, medical professional than this Doctor. He took the time to listen, and followed up with exacting questions. He tapped into the root cause of the most relevant issues and provided a valuable referral that will get us the help we need. His staff was excellent as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Truitte for anyone needing cardiovascular services.

Wonderful, kind doctor. He’s not a surgeon so he referred me to a great surgeon at UVA
