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.

Excellent pratice!!

DR ALEX AND HER ASSISTANT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER FROM THE TIME I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL THRU THIS VISIT. ALWAYS EXPLAINED THINGS TO ME AND SHOWED AND EXPLAINED THE X-RAYS AND CT SCANS. I WISH EVERY DOCTOR AND HER STAFF WAS LIKE HER. IF SHE WAS A GENERAL PRACTITIONER I WOULD MAKE HER MY PRIMARY DOCTOR IN A HEARBEAT
