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.

Gave me directions to follow through a nurse claiming she'd already told me. She never told me because this was my first instance with this health issue. Later I was told she mixed us up with a different patient. Wow! She must have not looked through our chart or anything. Not impressed. She's constantly not taking notes or reading what was done at other visits, especially when seen by another dr in the same office. I don't feel confident taking my family there because of this.
