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 thought the staff was very nice. I really like Dr. Truitt, she listened to everything I had to say and asked all the right questions. I left there feeling like I was finally seeing a doctor who will fix the problem, not just treat the symptoms!

The doctor is friendly and proffesional. The staff not so much. Office is clean and orderly. The check in process a bit slow. The ask the same questions even if you were just in. Make it seem lije thr dont know you.
