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.

After struggling with an undiagnosed condition for 9 years, Dr. Townsend was the one who figured out what was wrong with me, almost immediately after he met me. His intelligence and kindness surpasses any other doctor I’ve ever met. I highly recommend Dr.Townsend.

My experience with Dr. Townsend was one of the few times I actually enjoyed going to the doctor. His demeanor was so nice, relaxed and confident. He took the time to draw and explain everything to me, as well as put me at ease with something a previous physician had informed me of. I'm almost sad I only get to see him every 5 years! He's who I aspire to be like when I go into the medical field.
