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.

Quality care.
As my Doctor he has been really helpful in helping me understand some of the issues that I have been going through. He answers my questions and clearly explains my options when it comes to my care.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr Reed! Wonderful doctor who knows what he’s doing and very compassionate. He sees me right away. His office staff are so helpful. He tells me every time I see him “All you have to do is call”. I call him “Doc” because I like him so much. He is my favorite doctor in the whole world!

I have been seeing Dr. Donald Reed as my PCP for over 10 years. He is a very good physician and knows what he is doing. I have even had a few minor procedures and the results came out great. The office staff is wonderful and will work with you on any situation needed. I highly recommend Dr. Reed.

Dr. Reed won my respect from the first time we met, which was in 1995. He gave me solid, honest advice, and has always done so to this day. I am grateful to have him as my family doctor.

Dr. Reed has been practicing for 30+ years. He, as well as his office staff have always treated his patients with the utmost respect, wait times for appointments are kept to a minimum, and referrals are always done in a timely manner. We as patients also have responsibilities to make sure all of our physicians have our current and up to date insurance cards. This has a major affect on how our office visits are filed as well as the referrals that are made to other specialists. Highly recommend

We have been going to him for many years now and have had great experience until recently. My husband went to him for some referrals. On the same day he referred my husband to two different doctors but one they put the wrong insurance. Now this will cost us over $400 because of their mistake. Shelia was so rude saying they can't back date things even though it's their mistake. Horrible customer service by Shelia and the whole office. We will never recommend anyone going there.
