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.

Lab visit
Martina H and Olivia H did an amazing job with my lab work. I’m usually very squeamish about needles, but they were really good about making me feel at ease.

I came today for blood work only in the lab. Martina was the only one working today, and was still able to patients in a timely manner. She is so kind and sweet and personable. She takes my blood every time I go and never has any issues and always gets everything needed on the first try. She genuinely cares about every patient and their needs, and you can feel that. She is wonderful and such a breath of fresh air! I love having blood work just because I am able to see her!

I've waited two weeks now leaving messages daily waiting for a response from the Dr on my medications and the front office just told me I'm attempting to contact too often and wait for the dr to contact me. I'm two weeks now without my medication, and no signs of getting my prescription. Great Dr. but the offices he works at are as incompetent as they come.

Dr Higgins is a kind, compassionate human being who seems to be very up to date on his recommendations. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. The clinic may be a little slow moving, but waiting for him is totally worth it.

He's very friendly, but not the best doctor and is very slow moving. The clinic he works at is horrible.
