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 B is amazing and wonderful with my daughter who has special needs. We've been with him for 13 years and would be lost without him. Always easy to talk to and love how he takes the extra time for questions.

Put simply, this doctor can never retire. My son would probably be beside himself. When we moved to Lincoln in 2014 we left behind the pediatrician that first gave my kiddo care, and I struggled with where to go after moving. We were so lucky to find Dr. B. My 10 year old thinks he might be the coolest person ever, and he is ALWAYS patient and personable when we deal with him. I love how he engages my son directly, rather than acting like I am the patient and only addressing me. It can sometimes be tough to get in on super short notice to see him, but that's pretty common with all doctors right now. His staff is amazing, his bedside manner is wonderful, there's just no down side.

Particularly I don't care for Dr. Bernhardson. I think he comes off very abrasive and condescending, also to the staff in particular.
