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.

Provider very knowledgeable, explained treatment options well.

Dr. Chough is the finest surgeon on the West coast. He saw how debilitating my pain was and scheduled my surgery immediately! I believe the people of Mose Lake/Grant county are pleased with such a skilled surgeon and medical team!

Dr. Chough was very thorough in detailing the problem within my knee joint. He offered options in treatment without pressure to choose a certain one. I felt he gave a good explanation of what to expect from surgery and recovery.
