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.

I went to the Emergency Room in severe pain. I was taken for a CT Scan and was diagnosed with a kidney stone. Dr. Yates was my attending physician. I have nothing but good things to say about him. If he was in private practice, I would want him for my family doctor. I highly recommend him. Very nice doctor!
