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.

I have been going to Dr. Person for over 40 years and have complete faith in him. He spends a lot of time with me and I never feel rushed. He answers all of my questions.

Dr. Person has treated me for over thirty years. Most of the time I have been in remissive state for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. He has me on the latest meds to keep me healthy and active . I find when I follow his instructions I get great results.

This doctor is an idiot. Do not, I repeat, do not bring your loved ones here. He has no compassion. He has horrible bed side manners. Due to the lack of his documentation, he has put my loved one's health at risk. He has lied and has tried to cover up his mistakes. He needs to leave the medical field.
