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.

Always professional and respectful. Provides personal insight into issues that are relevant to me.

I like Dr. Hester but his office practices are enough to make me want to find another doctor. The number of texts, emails and robo-calls I get for every appointment borders on stalking. It is ridiculous and way beyond annoying.
