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. Smith and Vikki are great! Dr. Smith has seen both of my daughters. My youngest was 6 at the time and she fractured her wrist. He was very good with her and made her feel much better after he put on the cast. My oldest 13 was seen recently for a knee injury. Vikki was amazing and pushed the referrals through in no time at all. She went above and beyond her duties to make sure my daughter received the necessary treatment asap. I recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who wants quality care.
