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.

Dr. Rawlinson is one in the most thorough clinicians that I have ever met. He he is remedied me on a few occasions, he has great bedside manner, and has strong clinical acumen particularly in orthopedics.

Dr. Rawlinson is all about conservative treatment, which I really appreciated. I feared the word surgery, and he explained all my options and encouraged me to try physical therapy. I did what he suggested and I am now pain free.

Dr Rawlinson is a great primary care sports medicine doctor. On time, very knowledgeable, gave me great guidance and care regarding my knee pain. Office was clean and professional, able to get in and out in minimal time.

Dr. Rawlinson is fantastic. I'm a mountain-biker & I fall down pretty regularly. Wait times are always minimal & the process from X-ray to consultation has me out quickly. As importantly, the diagnosis and advice toward speedy recovery has been SPOT ON. If I could give more than five stars, I would...Dr. Rawlinson tops all I've seen in my 25 years living in the Bay Area (and I've seen lots)!
