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.

Very
She will not forget you after walking out of the office. She reminded me about coming back to the office even though I forgot for weeks. The answering system is very annoying. I stayed on hold for 48 mins until I needed to get off the phone. Bathroom break, I did call back only to be on hold for another 20+ mins. I finally let it go and waited another week to try again.
