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.

My 10 month old was sick so I went to Dr. C (she was my son's pediatrician until I relocated -he's now 3 yrs old). However, when my daughter had a reaction to the prescribed antibiotics instead of having us come in to see her or switch to another prescription she presumed I didn't want to pay the copay and told me to go to an allergist. When I asked her why she informed me that her staff told her I did not pay a copayment 3 yrs ago for my son so she sent me away. SMH -I count that as malpractice
