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.

I started seeing Dr. Powers in my mid-20s and continue to into my 40s. He may have a bit of a dry personality but he is always professional, thorough, and accurate in his diagnosis.

1st meeting with this doctor: Waited almost an hour to be seen. Receptionist was having a loud personal phone call that she finished before checking me in MD "interview" was awkward - he talked over me, and into his recorder. He did not do an examination at all. The icing on the cake...... Blatantly incorrect information in my list of problems/diagnoses in my online medical file. Not only will I NOT be back to see this doctor, I highly recommend that no one else sees him as well!

I felt very uncomfortable and unsupported in my intetaction with him. I found his tone rude and almost chastising. I will not be going back.

During a time when I was very sick and confused I did something 'wrong' by seeing another doctor once, and when I returned to Dr Powers he berated and humiliated me to the point of tears, and then he continued doing that till I was traumatized. When I mentioned this to another physician's assistant she confirmed that this was not only totally unprofessional, but that his analysis of an aspect of my condition was totally off the mark.
