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.

My doctor for over 40 years. He has helped my family and friend and discovered early cancer in me in time for treatment and now iam cancer free for 14 years... he is one amazing man and iam sad to see him retire. I wish him all the best in his retirement... it’s going to be difficult to find another doctor as rock solid as FRED! 6 stars
