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.

Went to ER in Torr. Knee was as big as a soft ball. Calf was the same and as hard as a rock. I wanted blood testes and a x-ray would have been a good idea. He did neither. after a 2 min. exam said It was Gout. I don't think so . After getting blood tests later found I had Lime disease and elevated white blood cells. Lime is so prevalent in the NW corner that when I went to a job site 4 worker's told me what it was. DR. Childs is a quack and should retire to Norfolk. Service at the now Hartford Hospital in Torr. Is a joke. Good thing I was redundant about getting care ; I would have been in big trouble.
