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.

Review
He performed surgery on April 7, 2023 but went ghost on me since canceling my May 11, 2023 appointment. I had to doctor on myself. I haven’t received communication of anything. How are you suppose to show care for your patients. I went to his office today June 6, 2023 and the office was closed. I came at 9:30a.m. and the hours start at 9a.m. I never had this happen to me.

I wish I would have changed to him a long time ago. The most genuine, thorough doctor I have ever met! Does not rush through appointment. Listens and is compassionate.

Dr. Sykes is above the rest. He has been my Dr. for many years. He always takes time to discuss and explain any concerns or questions that I have. Very professional. Paul is now at his third location since I’ve been seeing him and I’m now at my third address. I currently drive 120 miles to see him since my last move. Tony Harkey - March 25, 2019
