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.

My father refused to change drs. I came back to Illinois to care for my father’s health and I was shocked that instead of finding out what the causes he will just prescribe another prescription by the time it was all said and done my father took over 15 medications. His staff was not professional and some of the nurses look like they should be in a bar scene instead of a hospital . I moved my father to Tennessee his new dr has him on 4 meds and he is done a complete 180.

Would not recommend . My husband had to wait 2 1/2 hrs in his waiting room (yes, he had an appointment) for a follow up visit following quadruple bypass surgery. When we finally got in room the nurse was less than friendly. We have now changed physicians.
