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.

Demeaning with no bedside manner
So demeaning and condescending. Rude and disrespectful. Prefers to blame rather than help you. Doesn’t explain responses but acts very pompous in his responses. Sad.

A CONDESCENDING PERSON !
I was trying to find better health care in Galax and went to him. I had just started on MounJari shots for diabetes with another doctor who had already ordered labs when I began being seen by him. This somehow caused him to be insulted or something ??????He rolled his eyes and began shaking his head with DISGUST, got up & walked out of the room, leaving me sitting there ! An adolescent attitude, with no reason for it !! Don't waste your time as I did !! It's NO WONDER his ratings are so low !!!!

Dr. Laws is a excellent doctor!
Everytime I go for my appointment I like him that much more. I think it is very important for a doctor and patient go have a healthy relationship. He listens to everything I have to say. I just wished that he was at Carrillon Clinic in Hillsville. Thank you Dr. Laws....you rock!!
