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.

I had a first time appt with another provider at the clinic that was ill at the last minute. I was at the clinic and was going to have to reschedule. Dr. Failor was willing to see me if I could wait. He was SOOOO worth the wait. His bed side manor was amazing. I had been diagnosed with a chronic illness. He walk my sister and I through every step of what had occurred from symptom, test result, medication and Diagnosis. End result was I do not have a chronic illness I just need to recover from an acute illness. (he also explained why I was given the Dx by my primary provider and referred to a specialist) He was overall amazing, not because he gave me great news, but because of the way he treated me. Thank you so very much for everything.

I am astonished that the other reviewer would say such kind and compassionate things about this doctor. This doctor must have something going on that would make him behave absolutely the polar opposite of what the other reviewer has stated. The person that I encountered it refers to himself as Dr. Failor, Was a bizarre, dissociated, unfriendly, even mean spirited person who showed me absolutely no care or bedside manner. He would not even give me any guidance to go to find care or somewhere else

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Failor’s for close to four years. He has always had the upmost professional disposition while being personal enough to express genuinely concern about me. I leave always feeling heard. I know it doesn’t mean much, but even when I’ve seen him a whole year later, he has remembered details about my personal life that has made me feel like he truly cares.
