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.

Best kept secret and a hidden jewel
My husband and I were lucky enough to find Dr Donka and that he accepted us as our primary GP. He is professional, personable, up to date with new medical information, and a very nice man. Despite a grueling day schedule ( hospital, office, nursing home ) he still takes the time to explain even the smallest questions. His office staff is equally helpful and nice—- surprising so with such a busy office.

DrDonka is lovely but the office manager...
At our second annual physical, my husband's physical results went to MYQuest but mine did not. Once again, Kathy the office manager said it's not their fault. They said they would mail it to me but a month later I had to call back and ask again. Additionally, this office has implemented a $5 charge if you do not pay your bill within 30 days, not sure if this is legal or if the $5 is monthly. I am ending my relationship because of the lack of professionalism of this office in particular the office manager. The medical staff is lovely.
