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. Smith has been my doctor for the past 3 years. His approach and solutions are very good and in line with my preference to take minimal prescriptions.

Dr. Smith's attention to medical history and root-cause focus helps to ensure the best possible patient outcome. He is outstanding in both manner and expertise. As a patient, I see the astounding positive difference his value is to patients over the standard insurance model. You go there and you get his time and attention to the fullest extent, and no overhead of insurance billing management which means significantly lower overall cost, as well as care an order of magnitude beyond normal.

I highly recommend Dr. Smith. He's our family doctor. My 12 year old son really enjoys learning from Dr Smith and feels comfortable asking all kinds of questions. I like that he spends time with us explaining and educating. He shows real interest in his patients well being.
