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.

Outdated
Mary Clinton MD doesn't remember from one visit to the next and has outdated equipment. I don't feel heard and she lacks that personal touch. She also misdiagnosed me according to 2 other doctors.

Wonderful physician!
I see her for multiple sclerosis. She always takes the time to answer a patient's questions. She never talks to me like I'm an idiot, as some doctors do. She's very kind and caring. It took me a long time to find her after moving to the area from MI where I was diagnosed. Other physicians here were terrible and spoke to me like I was stupid. She doesn't do that and takes my concerns seriously. I have referred others to her, as well.

A "first time" appointment with a neurologist. Dr. Clinton was/is amazing: not only informative and thorough in reviewing my records & the examination, but interjected compassion, reassurance and humor. I am so happy I was referred to her.

She is a fantastic doctor. Not only did she spend time with us asking questions and doing physical checks, she also was very observant. She answered all of our questions and gave me options. I already have another appointment with her scheduled.
