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.

Excellent care
Dr. Withnell was my doctor for a little over two years, and was one of the best family physicians I've ever had. He had a very hands-on approach to medicine, and was willing to do procedures in the office that other doctors automatically referred me to a specialist to take care of. He recently left Community Health Care and I have been assigned another doctor that I have not met yet. If i find out that he is with another practice locally, I will be transferring my care back to him.

Excellent doctor. He was my doctor for over 20 years & wish his office would still take my insurance. Dr. Withnell always explained everything & even made drawings to help me understand. If you’re looking for a doctor, I would recommend him 100%.

He can be short of comments and I find myself asking a lot of questions from him that should normally be part of his conversation with me concerning my health. Sometimes he looks at his computer the whole time and I don't feel he is actually listening to me. He needs to acquire some better commutation skills with patients. He also never addresses me by my name so I don't know if he actually knows who I am after 3 or 4 years that I have seen him. I told him his staff can be a little rude some
