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.

The best dr hands down. He is the only dr that listens to how I feel and takes into account everybody has different needs. I suffer from MS which can be a struggle day and out. He has worked to help me cope with my MS fatigue and depression. Great patient/DR relationship is the most important aspect of medicine.

I have been a patient with Dr. Z for 20 years. I like that he prescribes lower dose medications to start and then works up to stronger as needed. Also Dr. Z believes in holistic remedies, a "if it works do it" kind of attitude.
