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.

finally a doctor that takes time with you. I could tell it's not all about her schedule, it's about me.

Dr. Nerheim gets 1 star for ordering the appropriate tests. She lacks elsewhere. I explained to her my issues gaining/maintaining my weight my whole life. The morning of my appt I was rushed getting my kids fed/ready & grabbed a quick cheese stick and granola bar for myself. Dr. Nerheim wrote “claims she can’t gain weight but only had cheese stick for breakfast.” -as if that particular morning reflected my whole life. Unprofessional appearance- hair so greasy I could have fried an egg.

Dr Nerheim had terrible bedside manners and her jokes about heart failure were disgusting. She is also full of herself and walked into the room spewing solutions before she even reviewed the case. Spent 4 days in the hospital and left with no specific answers or specific plan of attack because she didnt care about our questions and the condition has not improved. Go to someone else!
