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 have been dealing with my symptoms for 9 years and have been to multiple doctors. This is the FIRST time I have felt heard and that a physician has taken the time to actually listen to my needs and not dismiss my concerns as "this is part of life". This was the best medical appointment I have had in years.
