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.

A case from the past
In 1985 my father very suddenly became gravely ill and was hospitalized. A number of doctors were called in to attempt to identify his illness but to no avail. In the end it was Dr. Harris who was able to correctly diagnosis my father's condition. My father had a very rare and aggressive form of lung cancer; obviously, a disease outside the scope of Dr. Harris's speciality. It was a terrible blow to learn the truth but we have always been grateful to Dr. Harris for his dedication to the practice of medicine and for his sacrificial commitment to my father's care.
