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.

Attempted a new patient visit and was shocked that COVID protocols were not being followed. Masks not used by staff and discounted when asked to them to comply.

Dr. Goetter is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring doctor. He takes the time to get to know you so that his treatments fit your needs. I had a bleeding ulcer and when the ER sent me home he sent me back to the hospital and arranged for an endoscopy to confirm the bleed the very next day. I still don't know how he did it but am very grateful that he did it. I think that as a patient advocate he is the best and I trust his judgement.
