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.

Dr. Crcoran failed to give me important information about a possible side effect of a medication. She said "I might have some weight gain" from the medication. What I actually got was fatty liver, which has compromised my life, caused much pain and many limitations. I have learned that a full 40% of patients who take this medication have a similar side effect This doctor is terrible
