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.

Wonderful doctor
Last year my husband had a cardiac event. She explained everything from tests to ultimately being moved to Boston for further treatment. Last night, she was my doctor in the ER after I fell down the stairs. Again, explained everything, was very thorough.

Exceptional Dr Thornton
Dr Thornton treated me for a blood clot in the ER. She was kind, caring and thorough. She even contacted my surgeons in Boston to speak with them. She went above and beyond. I have high regards for her, what a wonderful Dr.

We have had Dr. Thornton twice in the past few years of family ER trips. She has great bedside manner and explains things clearly. My daughter saw her in the ER this week and I remembered her name from my own visit 4 years ago. I generally don’t recall the names of doctors I see only once unless they make an impression. She is thorough and does not make you feel rushed, despite the setting. She also made my 11 year old daughter smile despite the unpleasant situation she was in. Other doctors can certainly learn from her.
