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 Clayton has reached that stage in life where when you go to work, you just go through the motions. He comes in the room with his agenda set much like an automaton. He does not hear what you say or just ignores it. I have been waitng 2 years on a physical therapy referal, and longer for a colonoscopy. I was forced to terminate his employment. Yes the DR works for the patient, not Medicaid or the insurance companies. The revenue source begins at the Patient.
