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.Gates is very much into what he thinks is going on or right, to the point that he makes you feel inadequate!! He doesn't listen to what I've told him about something being very wrong and things are getting worse!! I had to walk out of my appt because he would not listen to me about gasping for air that was getting worse. Thank God I saw a different doc and they found out the reason why!!! I would never recommend him! So if you know your body very well it doesn't matter he will not believe you

Excellent Doctor - too bad his staff won't schedule appointments for him. As a former patient we had a need to be seen again but were told by the snippy gal on the phone that they would need the referral again (that they misplaced) and I should not call back again... they would call me. No one ever called, so we got an appointment with a wonderful Doctor at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. A shame we had to drive that far for service.
