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.

Dr. Bird overflows with empathy and compassion in a medical system where those qualities are in desperately short supply. He treats me not as just a patient but as a concerned friend. He's also an excellent generalist with knowledge and direct experience with many different health problems making him even more valuable as a medical provider.
