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.

Hook hands upon his arrival and my departure. Dr, Montana listed to my story. There was humor involved which Dr Montana understood, and his empathy and concern toward my problem were genuine.

I did not hear the provider tell me that I had to wait for further instruction - he told me I was done - so I left and then the nurse called me.
