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 ER doctor.
Terrible ER doctor. He didn’t listen to our concerns. He interrupted us on a frequent basis. He spent less than 5 minutes with us. This was the worst ER experience we have ever had. We ended up driving to UCH ER dept. in CO & received exceptional care with highly qualified doctors that listened & were very attentive.

My ER treatment from Dr. Best was extremely poor. He spent 10 minutes on my case for the 8 hrs I was in the ER. I went in with a back injury, from which I was unable to walk, nor stand without passing out from nausea. The initial x-rays showed no injury, and I was only diagnosed 6 hrs later after we pressured them for a CT scan. My treatment was prolonged because he did not respect my injury, and thought that I was a dramatic girl. He said to me, "nobody is going to admit you for a sore butt." I literally fractured my back. He also made other rude remarks to my family members. If we did not pressure him/staff, I never would have been treated. Thankfully the inpatient staff helped me manage my pain. It is one thing to have an attitude but still treat your patients properly, but his attitude prevented him from providing medical care. If you find yourself in the Christus ER for a non-life threatening reason, make sure you are treated by another doctor.

Dr. Best is an excellent doctor. He's very caring and knowledgable, and I am so fortunate to have been cared for by him in ER. I can't say enough about what a great doctor he is. Thank You Dr. Best!
