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.

All great.. Options and transparency are key for me. Tell me like it is, give me options, have forethought before consulting and lead with compassion.. Im all in..

Dr Cookson saved my life and I owe him a debt I will never be able to repay. Dr Cookson understands that I'm scared and nervous but he's reassuring and always shows understanding and respect. I would not be here were it not for Dr Cookson.
