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.

Front desk was very kind however, Dr. Ingram disagreed with anything I was told prior and treated my requested tests like they were a task and waste of time. I will not be back.

I have been seen by Dr. Ingram for most of my adult life now. He has always been willing to listen and talk through what is going on with my health at the time and even over the past months, if I have not been in for a while. He is a friendly and caring man and I feel he does what is best for his patients health.

I visited Dr. Ingram as a new patient only recently moving into the area. I am 61 and arrived with previously diagnosed conditions currently being treated by prescribed medications. Dr. Ingram treated me as if I was an "untouchable." He disagreed with the medications that I was taking and argued that I should be on "sedating tranquilizers," which seems far worse than my current prescriptions. He was rude and offensive. I would not take my cat to his office.
