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.

A Patient for Years
Dr Burns is compassionate and thorough. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and determine the 'next steps' for my care. He has been very accessible to me since joining MDVIP, even a phone call when I was on vacation in Paris.
