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.

Best Dr
My son has seen Dr Atkinson since 2013. He's now 18. He adores her. She always listened to, and heard our concerns. I've never trusted a Dr more.

I have been seeing Dr Atkinson for my son since he was 4 months old. He was a preemie and she has made sure that all the resources that was available he had. She is a great doctor, a genuine doctor, and loves what she does. I would recommend her to anyone with small kids and especially those with special needs. She is the best doctor there and I have never felt rushed in my visit. She took the time to discuss and explain in great detail anything I may have questioned.
