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. Pfitzner is by far the very best doctor I have ever seen. He is very knowledgeable but explains things in layman's terms so you can understand. I would trust my life to him. He's also a great person.

This place is slow as sin had to wait an hour after scheduled appointment time. Unprofessional and rude. Staff spoke to patient in front of waiters in waiting room, unprofessionally that should have been addressed in private setting. Through my observation, I being a transporter am grateful I'll never need services here!
