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.

Very straight to the point, very thorough.
He had definitely reviewed the case before the visit. Knew exactly how he wanted to handle it. Very easy to speak to and very easy to understand what he was saying in regards to the problems. There were no communication barriers that he couldn't understand. Best Doctor we have had an appointment with.
