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.

It’s taken me 4yrs to write this review but I’m finally ready. I took my then 5yr old daughter. After filling out paperwork & being asked for more legal documentation then required. The office staff refused to refer to me as my daughter’s “mother” or “parent” even after being corrected. My daughter was refused treatment in this office for being legally adopted!

Dr. Bookout took time to listen to my concerns and actually pinpointed something that my body had been depleted of for years that no one else had been able to see. I like the fact that he referred me to a natural remedy instead of trying to push pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries which is what other doctors typically have done. I appreciate his straight forwardness and yet he still was very kind. I highly recommend Dr. Bookout!

My son is under 3 and requires surgery. I informed him I wanted to think about if we should go ahead with it or wait till he was 3. I called him when I got home to get more information and see what’s the best option to choose. Dr book out was very hateful with me, asking how long our conversation was going to take, and his tone was god awful! I felt as if he was not treating my child as a human and wanted me to rush for a decision.

Dr. Bookout removed my tonsils about 8 yrs. ago. And I have been trying to get in contact with him every since because I've been having problems. Okay finally got in to see him again sent me for a sinus scan and I miss my appointment to come back and do a follow-up on the scan. Finally he told me everything look good. Okay still having issues called again to make another appointment then I was told he did not take my insurance.

I had an appointment at 2:30 today and was exactly on time with my grandson Dillon. I took off from work half a day,loosing money in my business, signed Dillon out of school early. I was told from his primary doctor to be on time and don't miss the appointment because I want have an other one. Ok I did what I was told .I walked in to Dr Bookout office to sign in my grandson to have his ears checked because he has a tube in his ear..I was told that Dillon was dismissed but I wastill not told why.
