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.

An excellent physician in every way. Too bad he is now retired; however, he deserves to have a wonderful retirement for he has earned it.

I have been a patient of Dr Paterson's for almost 20 years. He is the best doctor I have had. I have total confidence in his opinions and care. He is easy to talk with, and very helpful getting specialist scheduled when needed. He is always prompt with my appointments.
