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.

Very Old School
Dr Black performed a double mastectomy on me. He may be a competent surgeon, at six weeks I still have too much inflammation to tell. If you are extremely independent, need no instruction, and don’t care about office space for visits he could be your man. Otherwise run away as fast as you can.
