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.

I was shocked to see the other respondents reviews. Dr. Thompson is a very skilled surgeon and was extremely courteous and made sure I understood all my options and explained each one in detail.

Dr. Thompson is an arrogant doctor with a God complex. When I asked him why he was 40+ minutes late for our appointment, he asked me if I had somewhere else to be! He assured me he would NEVER be on time.

Dr. Thompson is rude and explained nothing in detail to us. In fact, when I tried to ask a question he snapped back with a very short answer.
