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.

Great doctor and great staff
I recently had my annual physical with Dr. Ramsbottom. It went very well and I was pleased with the services rendered. Dr. took time to explain all aspects of the lab work and I was very happy not only with this services, but also that of his staff. If you are looking for a good doctor in the Myrtle Beach area, I would highly recommend him.

I am EXTREMELY happy with the care and understanding that I receive from Dr. Ramsbottom. From the way his staff (Paula & Stephanie) take care of me, to the way Dr. Ramsbottom answers all of my concerns in such a caring manner, I can not say enough good things about his practice. Knowing that I have the doctors cell phone number for 24/7 emergency contact, gives me tremendous peace of mind.
