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.

Always nice and respectful to his patients. He would make any effort to make sure his patients got the care they need!

Dr. Earwood is the best Dr. I have never been to a Dr. who actually cares. He's isnt there taping his foot and looking at his watch wondering how to get rid of this patient. I was extremley ill for two year, couldn't walk and weighed 90 pounds. The insurance company wouldn't pay for any thing and my surgeon couldn't be bothered. Dr. Earwood called the surgeon and the insurance company until they stared to do the . Within a year I could walk, becoming more in inependent etc. The Best..
