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.

Terrible experience
After misdiagnosing my son 4x, telling us he had a stomach bug, his lung cavity filled with fluid so much it crushed his lung. She refused to give him an antibiotic & told her colleagues not to also. As a result my son was hospitalized in ICU for 9 days. He had 2 chest tubes, & was on a ventilator. They wouldn’t even let us drive him to hospital, he was so sick with pneumonia. Then we waited for hours in ER for a bed. Dr Rutherford never called the hospital to check up on her patient even though the hospital told her clinic he had been admitted. Only writing this to save other families the suffering my son endured.
