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.

Told my late wife that "she definitely didn't have cancer" without actually listening and screening for anything. Guess what? She did have cancer. Proceed with caution.

Sara Rourke is a brilliant clinician. She has an understanding of substance abuse that is extraordinary. She calls it like she sees it and can be blunt but is always caring and supportive.

Dr. Rourke is an excellent practitioner. She listens and makes you feel like you're working as a team to solve health issues. Her staff are excellent at keeping you informed about test results as well.

Dr Rourke is a brilliant doctor, but lacks good listening skills, can be rude & obnoxious when it isn't warranted. Telling a patient each time they come how badly they reek of cigarette smoke (showered & clean clothes) & that even a box of insulin which is kept in the fridge reeks of cigarette smoke isn't conducive to getting a person to quit smoking & is why I quit seeing her. In reading her notes after I quit I saw how many times she totally had no clue what I was trying to explain to her.
