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 have been so impressed w/ Dr. Gould that now three other family members also have him as their primary care physician.

Dr. Gould is an Excellent Doctor
Dr. Gould is an excellent physician. He was my Mother's primary Doctor for years; he looks at the whole person. He knows about the body and medications; he does not prescribe "one" medication for every patient. Best of all he has excellent bedside manner; he truly cares for every patient and their family. I can rave on and on about Dr. G and his staff. You will not be disappointed. I am forever grateful for him and his staff.

Dr. Gould is the BEST physician I have ever come across! I want to adopt him, so he can take care of me forever!! He truly listens to you and your concerns, no matter how seemingly trivial. He considers your opinion as valuable as his, and will tell you he appreciates a patient who is involved in their own care. He truly CARES about his patients. I cannot recommend and COMMEND enough.

He is the most kind, considerate and knowledgeable physician I've met (other than my brothers)! He takes whatever time the patient needs to explain, discuss care and concerns. I am so impressed with this man I want to nominate him for an award or do something really special for him!!
