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. Sistrunk is very professional. Good Listener
Dr. Sistrunk is patient. She listens to you. She is knowledgeable. She expects you to listen to her to get the desired results. Great Health.

Dr. Sistrunk is an incredible physician! She has been my primary care physician for several years, and I can confidently say that I trust her with my entire healthcare well-being. She is not only friendly and prompt but also incredibly courteous and thorough in her approach.What sets Dr. Sistrunk apart is her unique way of discussing healthcare with her patients. She doesn't just present you with a list of necessary treatments; instead, she takes the time to explain your options and thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of each. This comprehensive approach allows you to make an informed decision that aligns with your understanding, comfort, and best interests.Dr. Sistrunk is truly one of the best physicians I've ever had.
