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 personable and knowledgeable. Husband diagnosed with throat cancer. Dr. Crist was very patient and explained everything to us…even drew a picture of what he was going to do. Immediately after surgery, Dr. Crist answered all my questions and was compassionate. Highly recommend him.
