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.

Horrible customer service
His bedside manners were horrible!!! He is arrogant! He don’t like knowledgeable patients that question him. He was unable to answer my questions. He lied on my summary about what he recommended. As a healthcare professional I would never send anyone to him.

Horrible experience! No bed side manner, had no idea how to proceed after being unable to cure hemorrhoids! The nurses at the hospital even say how horrible he is! Do not go to this doctor!

barely tolerable, he was overly abrupt, bedside manner superficial and while not hurried not spending 1 second beyond that which would be considered normal. No, i would not recommend.

Well I had surgery 2 yrs ago with Dr. Stockton and he removed hemorrhoids that I had since I was a teen and this is a very painful surgery as he warned me! But with Dr. Stockton I made it thru great! He made sure I was comfortable as I could be. He has an awesome bedside manner if someone had a problem with him they have problem. Then on June 10th I had an emergency appendectomy hallelujah Dr. Stockton was on call. Fear left! Great doctor and staff! Btw I am on Medicaid. Thanks doctor and staff!

Dr. Stockton was very rude didn't act like he cared about what was going on with my sister she has a lump under her arm pit and is in pain he said that cancer does not cause pain !!!! But for his information yes cancer does calls pain breast cancer does calls pain he needs to go back to school !!!!! He told my sister to wait for 90 days to see if it grows . Seriously if this was his mother would he have told her to wait 90 days or his wife or even his daughter I don't think so !!!

Beware scammer,he will call you for an appointment to come in and talk,charge you a fee,after they take your money,then proceed to tell you there's nothing he can do for you,even though he look at your records before calling you,but he can give you a referral to pay another fee to someone that may or may not help you.
