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. Was great at explaining everything. Never felt rushed.

Dr. Towler listened to me when I spoke and seemed genuinely concerned that I was not as healthy as I should be. He made recommendations and quickly got my antibiotics for me at CVS and called in a stat ultrasound. He helped me realize the seriousness of my obesity and the impact it has on overall health.
