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.

My grandson loves Dr. Mahaffey and so do I!! She has always been wonderful and caring...Dr Mahaffey has been my grandson's doctor for 13 years and we truly trust her. She is very kind, and thorough in checking out Izaiah's issues. She is like part of the family.

Down to earth and very knowledgeable. She listens carefully to her patients (and their parents) and addresses any concerns with a thoughtful response. She was my pediatrician from 12 years old to 18 years old. My younger siblings also saw her. Now, my niece sees her. We adore her.

My child's care over a 5 year period was inconsistent. At best, the care was adequate and Dr. Mahaffey could be cheerful. At worst, Dr. Mahaffey lacked compassion and was disrespectful toward my child with eye rolls, smirks, and a raised voice. I never knew what to expect from Dr. Mahaffey nor the clinic staff. I finally gave in to my child's request to switch to another doctor.
