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 Helenius is the best! She is thoughtful and patient-centered. She listens to me and we work together to make sure my care will fit my goals. So appreciative of her!

I have been under the care of Dr. Helenius for about six years. During this time she has provided me with outstanding medical care. She is bright, engaging and perceptive. Her advice and choice of treatments have been all been thoughtful and effective. She considers my lifestyle and advices me about what I can do to improve my general health. At times when I needed additional consultation she has referred me to the right specialist. I consider her among the very, very best.
