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 Richard Dietzen
One of the crudest and rudest Doctors, I have ever met. One day when he was talking to me in the exam room. He slammed his notebook down on the table, cursing the Governor of the state that I live in. He used the Lord God's name after a curse word, and right before he Governor of Arkansas' name in one sentence. I asked him to apologize to me for using this type of behavior and language in front of me. He refused to apologize. I stood up and told him that he is fired from being my doctor. Then I walked out. He told me that I can't just walk out of the exam room while being his patient. I said just watch me. Dietzen is one of the crudest and most rudest people I have ever known. He needs to have his medical degree revoked.

I love Dr. Dietzen he is a wonderful Dr. and spends ample amount of time with each patient he explains in detail the troubles you are having an issues the medication or treatment to eleviate the problems although wait time is a little long he will give you the same attention when he sees you. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone in need of treatment. Oh and the staff is amazing.
