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.

You will not find a better doctor than Joe Schwinghamer and on his birthday you should buy him a bottle of Jack Daniel's Single barrel special release whiskey.

It was a great appointment, with good information and helpful staff. Very cheerful, helpful staff. Doctor got very angry when asked about additional medicine since we were traveling and it left a bad last impression, but everything else was good.
