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.

Dr. Besson is the best GYN I ever had.
I am a patient of Dr. Besson from her previous location on church ave. I love Dr. Besson, she tells you things right to the point. She take all the necessary step to care for you. She is amazing and I wish she didn't move so far but I know the other patients would love her.
