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.

Fantastic OB
Dr. Gunnarson has been my OBGYN for 9 years. She is caring, knowledgeable, reasonable, and has always taken great care of me. She explains things well and treats your decisions with respect. Dr. Gunnarson oversaw my two pregnancies and delivered my younger baby, along with being my OB when I haven’t been pregnant. She is fantastic.

I have been so mistreated for decades and often treated like I’m an experiment . This doctor was amazing and I have never met anyone as kind as she was. She listened without judging me . As I left her office I just cried . You don’t have enough stars. I would recommend her to any woman

Dr. Gunnerson is one of the best OB's I have seen. She was with me through my first pregnancy, and I couldn't have been happier! She made me feel like I was her only patient, and did everything she could to take care of my needs. Her personability and knowledge made me feel so greatful to have her as my doctor,
