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. Makres is such a blessing to me and my daughter. He puts me at ease being a first time mom, always willing to help, and if he doesn't know the answer to your medical question (which is rare), he will sure find it. Seriously an angel on earth!

Doctor Makres is a wonderful doctor. He’s blunt and up front which is one reason I like. I would rather have a up front doctor than one that beats around the bush. He goes out of the way to make sure my children are well even sees them on sundays. Great doctor

I have the utmost confidence and trust in Dr. Makres. He is cautious when necessary. He has been great with my children and I trust that he does with mine what he would do with his own!

Dr. Makers has received a bad rap but I disagree with the negative comments. I was concerned when my kids regular Dr was unavailable for urgent visits and Dr Makres was on duty but those concerns have changed to respect. Dr. Makres has been knowledgable at my childrens' visits. He is personable with them. He has been attentive to my concerns.
