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.

Horrible bedside manners and left me ill prepared
He didn't look at me as he rushed into the exam room, had his eyes on the chart as he said a curt hello. They said I needed surgery and to take two weeks off from work and not lift anything for 6 weeks following. No other instructions about post-op care. I went back because if I have to take two whole weeks off from work then surely I need to prepare the house (meals, etc) for after surgery since it sounds like I'll be unable to even lift anything and they could not provide a post-op care sheet. I will be going to a different doctor for this surgery.

Dr Heathcote gave me my life back with the procedure he performed after I had been suffering for months. He is thorough, informative and professional. I can’t say thank you enough for the care I was provided.
