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.

Performed thyroid biopsy. Mixed up left/right sides 4 times when giving report to nurse, with her correcting him. Eyes bloodshot and glassy. Would not look me in eye as explaining procedure. Very painful, requiring more novacaine. 3" x 2 1/2" bruise. Dry specimen on one side so nondiagnostic result for that lobe. Leaned over me to perform biopsy on far side, rather than moving to other side. Missed significant increase in thyroid size on 2nd US. I changed facilities. Can't recommend.

Was seen by Dr. Welcome as a second call for a mammogram. Rude, never addressed me as a patient. Entire experience took less than 5 minutes, with him after waiting 2 hours for the procedure (which was later than the appointment was scheduled for). Would not recommend him at all. Went to RDC to get a second just to make sure and changed radiology providers because of Dr. Welcome (ironic name).
