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.

After several unproductive visits to different doctors I decided to try one more time .. Dr. Livingston explained my foot problems caused by advanced arthritis. He explained why I needed orthotics and understood why always discarded custom ones (like standing on golf balls) He offered a soft,comfortable ones which are working to stabilize my foot and relieve my pain greatly. NOTE THIS PRACTICE IS NOW LOCATED IN CUMMING!

Dr Livingston is a wonderful doctor, but Brandi that works in his office is not only unprofessional but rude. Sadly I will no longer be a patient because of the poor treatment of the staff.
