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.

Dr Geddes was the on call doctor at Riverview Regional Medical center when my relative was there for intestinal difficulties. Her pain had been attended to when she was admitted, but no one could explain to her what had happened. Then Dr Geddes showed up on rounds, took his time, showed her the tests and explained everything in layman's terms, with kindness and really was a healing figure, in a rare show of physician competence.

He is a wonderful doctor. I had pneumonia and a kidney problem with failure and he got me better. He talked to me a lot every day and made me feel safe there.

Very good doctor. He took care of me in the hospital. He is very kind, and explained everything in a very straightforward manner. He told me what to expect ahead of time, so there were no surprises. I like it when a doctor, like him, sits down and listens to the patient. He seemed so relaxed and didn't right anything down, but at the end of our conversations he repeated back to me every detail that I had given him.

If I could give less than one star I would. Rude, arrogant, condescending, obnoxious and dangerous. Takes it personally if one doesn't agree with his opinion, even if his opinion is not in the best interest of the patient. Pouts and whines. Takes it out on the patient if people don't agree with his suggestions. Disagree with him at your own peril.
