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.

The best Doctor I have had in my life.
The Best Doctor I have ever had without a doubt. He is there for you and will not beat around the bush so to speak! I have trusted him with my life and he has never let me down. CDC guidelines is 6 ft on a sneeze? A sneeze can actual travel up to 27ft, with a spray of mucus that you cannot even see!' (University of Texas,Jan 2020; Nov 2, 2022.) 'A typical sneeze closely resembles a turbulent jet and can travel up to 25 ft in nearly 22 s.' National Instute of Health (V Arumuru, 2020) · Cited by 68 and a mask will not help you at that distance.

Started off well several years ago, but recently I have had a few issues. Firstly, I overheard him talking to another patient about masks and other CDC guidelines and how he does not follow them stating the false premise that masks do not restrict transmission of viruses among other thoroughly debunked claims. Secondly, the past few visits it seems his default treatment has become a steroid shot (pulled muscle, respiratory tract infection, and insomnia were my last visits with this treatment). I have since moved on to another practitioner who has successfully treated my issues without patronizing me with a steroid shot placebo.

Worst doctor I’ve ever had. Even mocked me about something I told him about my anxiety.

Dr. Love and his staff are always friendly, compassionate and most importantly competent. I would recommend them to anyone who would like a trustworthy doctor who cares about you. My experiences have always been great, so much that I drive over an hour to see them.
