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.

After months of ER visits for painful, hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, I had decided to give Dr. Alford a try- what a NIGHTMARE!! Not only was he short with me (and flat-out RUDE) but he dismissed all ideas of me having endometriosis (a diagnosis that I, an RN, had spent months researching). Instead, he started me on LoLoestrin and sent me on my merrry way- which of course, didn't work. I'm now preparing for an ex-lap surgery for (you guessed it) endometriosis w/ another doctor! Stay far away!

I have always disliked going to the gynocoligist. But when I had a problem, I knew I had to go and Dr. Alford was recommended to me. First of all, everyone at his office was friendly, gentle and kind as well as professional. Dr. Alford was so soft spoken, kind and understanding, I will never be able to thank him. He saw me thru a potentially fatal situation with knowledge, information and above all tender care. If you think there aren't any gynocoligist out there who will take the time to listen
