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 worst experience ever with a medical provider
This tool walked into the room 15 minutes late, (I was first patient scheduled). I am in healthcare and have never been treated this poorly by a provider in my personal or professional life. (And I worked with CV surgeons in the past!). He made odd assumptions about my liver disease and HIV. I walked out in disgust. When I complained and found out he was the interim chief of endo, it confirmed my suspicions that Northwestern is the most overrated hospital in the US.
