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.

5 stars
Dr McClosky is not only professional, patient, and efficient, but she also has a wonderful manor about her that makes the patient feel welcome, safe and secure. I would recommend her to anyone!

Dr McCloskey always has timed to answer my questions. She never rushes through the appointment. I’ve been seeing her for 20 years and I just love her. Sometimes the wait time is a little long but I don’t have a problem with that because I know she’s giving her patients the attention and care we deserve.
