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 ovarian cancer surgery in 2001.After 10 days the incision failed.You could see my bowel.I had Sepsis and my survival rate was pretty low.Dr.Sidwell was my trauma surgeon.Even though I threatened (under the influence of drugs) to throw him out the window....he saved my life. He did not give up on me.THANK YOU SO MUCH. Barb
