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.

The Best!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Conklin III?
When my mother's breast cancer recurred after 4 years, Dr. Conklin tried to reassure us that just because the Tamoxifen was no longer working for her, there are other agents to try. But wait! Mother had never been on Tamoxifen- Dr. Conklin had failed to prescribe it or even discuss it. Apparently he thought the surgeon had done so. Adjuvant therapy with Tamoxifen was the standard of care for her type of cancer. Perhaps she would have survived or even beaten the cancer with proper treatment.

Dr Conklin follows us into the room at nearly every visit. His energy is upbeat, concerned, and compassionate. Couldn't recommend him more. His staff is so attentive and professional, caring and kind. Everyone greets you like a friend they have looked forward to seeing again.
