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. Hines is a great guy and a wonderful nephrologist. He's brilliant, kind, thorough, and will always go the extra mile for me on every visit. He has an excellent staff that seems to be custom made for him. I'm a complicated patient, but he always meets every challenge I have. I'm lucky to have him as my nephrologist.
