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.

I have recommended Dr. Adkins SEVERAL times. Dr. Adkins has helped our son tremendously in the last 9 years. He is proficient, professional, & knowledgable. He does a fantastic job, BUT, you do have to do YOUR part to research & understand how to help YOUR child. He is a surgeon & does a wonderful job, he's not there to be your buddy. Regarding wait time: I've been that emergency in the ER & I've been that mother with 100 question that takes up too much time. I don't mind waiting.
