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.

Exceptional Doctor
Dr. Childs was very professional. He has exceptional knowledge of my injury. He took his time explaining my xray as well as my injury from the car accident. I have been following his plan for me to the T, because I am not a fan of surgery. I will say that if surgery is needed I totally trust him to put me back together again. I would and will recommend him to anyone and everyone that is looking for an exceptional doctor.

Caring Doctor
Went in to find out if I was dealing with a trigger finger or arthritis. After Dr Childs reviewed X-ray he determined it was arthritis and recommended a shot at the base of the finger. Dr Childs was caring and explained everything. Three days later the pain is gone and mobility is back!

Everyone from the staff who checked me in at the front desk to the nurses, support staff Especially Dr Childs were kind, professional, supportive, and patient. Being an older patient with a disability and numerous health problems I am always treated with respect , dignity and compassion. The staff act as if they are a close family working together . And I look forward to going to see Dr Childs. His bedside manner should be taught to new medical students!

Dr Childs knew the problem right away.
Dr Childs was very helpful with my problems of a severed nerve and tendon, caused by a deep laceration to my wrist.After inspecting where my hand is numb and the movement of my fingers, he was able to say right away which nerve and tendon were cut, without needing an MRI.Then he wrote an excellent report, which we know is correct, because a second doctor said the same thing, after having the MRI done.
