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.

Dr. Best is very caring, knowledgeable. She listens to my concerns. I was referred there by other patient of hers. She is great and i truly recommend her if you need an infectious disease doctor.

Very slow at making any decisions. Clear that she really doesn't know whats going on.
