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.

Dr James is an awesome doctor.
When I have an appointment it's always on time. Thanks to the doctor that I go to.

Best doctor

Dr. James is the best doctor I’ve ever had. During the visits, he will always make eye contact while talking. He does not look at a keyboard during the whole visit or treat me as if I am a number. I am treated like a valued human being. He truly listens to me and understands what I am saying. Dr. James and the office ladies are always accommodating and willing to work with my crazy schedule.
