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.

He was a very caring Doctor. He will be missed by every person that change their lives. Rest in piece to the best caregiver anyone could have. Thank you for the care you have given to our family.

Dr. Fairbairn was my doctor for about 10 years. I have recently moved to Florida and miss Dr. F. so much. He is the most compassionate and understanding doctor. He helped me through some of the most difficult parts of my life and for that I am so thankful. The doctors here need to take lessons from this wonderful man, and his staff is just as wonderful!!! Thank you for everything Dr. F. and girls!!! Miss you much!!! Best Regards, Maryanne M.
