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.

His excellent testing and proper diagnosis got me to a hospital in time to save my life after another doctor told me that I had only a "minor" problem. We have come to love Dr. Wefald for not only the results of his excellent medical care but for his compassionate approach and personal attention.
