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.

“ You look ok to me” medicine.
During the time Dr Benn was my primary care doc I thought she was helpful and solid but then I decided to ask for a complete blood testing that found I was very low in Vit D. I had also gone to see Dr Moonshine over some personal family problems, unsuccessfully getting little help. Both of these issues promoted depression especially when Dr Benn refused to help me continue my pain meds after 7 years of their help. Recently I had a ruptured appendix removed and they found a malignant tumor. This condition is now directly connected to depression. If I had been correctly helped early would I be facing another surgery today?
