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. Today has been the best care provider I've had. He is very attentative to my needs and is very knowledgeable about the questions I have. His ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease surpasses all my previous care providers. His ability to show empathy and understanding for my medical needs and questions leaves me satisfied with the professionalism and service he provides. I would highly recommend him to others looking for a PCP who truly cares for his patients.
