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.

Dr. Covert pays attention to more than just the condition being treated. He heeds the person and includes the person in the process of care. I value his competence and medical knowledge very highly. But, possibly, even more, I value his respect for the human being in his care, and the way he welcomes information shared with him by his patient of what that patient is experiencing.

I had to see Dr. Covert on an emergency basis for a detached retina late in the afternoon. He was professional yet relaxed. He thoroughly explained what had happened and what the surgery the next morning would consist of. He explained this to me and my sons in easy to understand language that we understood. I left his office feeling confident that my prognosis was good.
