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.

Very well informed regarding my reason for visit

I didn't really get any answers to what's going on. I was sent to the ER after my visit with Gabriella the ER for a CT scan that showed nothing so basically I got results for nothing and saw three doctors. It wasn't hemorrhoids. It wasn't a blood clot. it wasn't a cyst with us, they said it was nothing
