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.

I cannot and will not ever be able to see Dr. Tong without tearing up! He was the absolute best match for my husband, his surgery and our family. From his patience in answering our questions to his patience and skill during the procedure, we will be forever grateful. Excellent!!!
