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.

Tenncare I know you don't accept it .
I love the doctor and Joyce I just don't know why they can't get a waiver like some doctors do that you can sign that wouldn't hold Tenncare responsible for treatment so not only me but a lot of people can go back to him. He's the best doctor I've ever seen.

He charges me $300 per month. Won't take Medicare
I can't afford to go to him anymore! He charges me $300 per month. I have United Medicare plan and he won't take it. I am in tear that I can't go. Shame on him, I don't know how he sleeps at night. I can't afford my utility bills anymore because it all goes to him. How can he do this??

Best Doctor Ever
My experience with Doc as I called him was outstanding. He was very cautious of me as a patient. I wasn't just a number to him. He was very cautious about med interactions and was like a mentor to me.
