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.

Best doctor ever.
Dr. Loden always takes the time to understand your problem.

Stellar Doctor
Dr Loden handled my issue very promptly, and with care and compassion. I needed to have a surgical wrap on my leg RE-Wrapped (5 days following a surgery 2hrs away from home.) My comfort was very important to Dr Loden and his staff.

Dr visit
Because Dr Loden listened to what I had to say and ask me questions, he was able to discover what was wrong with me. The medication he prescribed solved my issue. Also…. A couple of days before, I had my 6 mo check up with blood work done. The results of that had come back that morning, so Dr Loden went over the results with me. Some issues have been discovered and he explained what everything was. This helped me to understand and decide what should be done. Not only this visit, but every time I see him I truly feel that he CARES for the wellbeing of his patients.
