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.

terrible ER visit
My wife was admitted 32 hours after her 1st ER visit with severe abdominal pain and cramping. This doctor wanted to give her 1 bag of IV fluids and nausea meds knowing that we still had test results pending from her 1st ER visit. My wife had to scream at him not to send her home that she knew something was wrong with her. She was admitted after her demand only to find out that she had salmonella poisoning. This doctor wanted to wash his hands of her and just send her home. Awful care.

This blessed man is gift sent straight from Heaven. I could not have dreamed anyone could be so gentle and compassionate. He is brilliant and true medical genius. I owe him my life and I told him so, but he just smiled and said it was my pleasure. I thought I was going to die, but now I have a new lease on life because of Dr. Cobb.
