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.

I moved to central Illinois three years ago. I still, and will, keep Dr. Brooks as my Rheumatologist. He is knowledgeable to consider all health issues as he works with my arthritis and fibromyalgia. He respects and considers my input, and explains the issues in terms I can understand. He’s a Doctor who is in the profession because he cares about the health of his patients. What this article doesn’t bring out is that his first degree is Chemical Engineer! I,more than, highly recommend him!
