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. Bavis spent a very good amount of time going over my medical past and issues I am currently dealing with. He was very professional and friendly. His medical assistant was also very friendly and professional. She was also a huge help in getting me access to appointments for tests and procedures that Dr. Bavis had ordered. I am very pleased with this office! Even the receptionist was friendly and thorough.
