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. OLIPHANT delivered all 4 of my boys. He is definitely the best most kind caring dr I've ever met. He listened to all my concerns and handled each with care.

Dr O is the best. He is so thoughtful and easy going. He is going to be retiring soon and I don't know what I will do!! He delivered both of my babies and I cannot tell you a single bad thing about him.

Dr Oliphant is Excellent! I have been going to him for 27 years and have NEVER had a bad experience! He has done two surgery's on me and I have had a great and easy recovery on both. He listens to my concerns and always keeps me calm when something isn't right with my body. His staff is of excellence as well. I hope he never retires!??

Dr. Oliphant is by far the best doc I’ve ever been to! He delivered my daughter years ago and I really just love this man!! He is kind, gentle, knowledgeable, experienced, and always listens to my concerns and provides thorough examinations and consultations. I wish I could go to him for every ache and pain... I’ve never felt so comfortable with a doctor before. I don’t know what I’ll do when he retires!!! I highly recommend him to everyone looking for a OB/GYN.

Dr. Oliphant is obviously experienced, but may be burnt out. He rescheduled 2 appointments in 4 months, did not take the time to answer my questions, respect my wishes, or work with me. He laughed at me when I said that I wanted a natural birth and told me to ask the girls upfront about birthing classes. On my first appointment, the scheduling woman suggested we waited a long time to start trying! (I am 32!) I switched providers at 26 weeks. Bad experience all around.
