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.

Very likely.
Timely and thus for effective.

Would recommend Dr Newton, sincerely cares.
Dr Newton, wants to make his patients as pain free as possible. The only complaint I have is the time it takes to get appointments for procedures. When you are suffering it is very discouraging to have to wait 6 weeks or more for relief.

Dr. Newton and the staff are very courteous efficient and display a genuine concern about my health needs. Dr. Newton suggested an alternative medicine to the one I’ve been using so that I wouldn’t feel fatigued. I have been well pleased with COG since my first visit.

Long-standing discomfort
I’ve been dealing with lower back and hip pain for quite a while. Dr. Newton seems to have a path that will restore my activity level to where it was. Time will tell, but I do think he knows what he’s doing.
