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.

She has been awesome. She is such a sweet lady and has been lots of help. I'm a first time mom so when my son had thursh; she prescribed him meds.. I had no idea what it was and she explained in detail and showed me in my sons mouth where to put the medicine. Even at his next appointment, less than about a month later she checked his mouth to make sure it was all cleared up. She gave me suggestions and I never felt rushed or unwanted. I would and have suggested her to friends and other family members.

She is supportive of what works for you and your family and situation. She will personally call you if you are in need of information regarding you child’s health. She is involved in mom and baby.

I have taken my young daughter to Dr. Desoto many times for different ilnesses. Every time I've gone Desoto assures me that nothing is wrong only for me to go see another doctor to find out the she has a bad illness. Such as an upper respatory infection when Desoto just said it was allergies and not to worry. She made my family feel unwanted and like we were a bother. Would never recommend her to ANYONE. Terrible Dr.

For 5 weeks my daughter us had issues from day of birth. Crying 3 or 4 hours at a time. No having regular bowel movements. Took her in multiple times and got the same response to everything...... Its normal or its fine. Took my daughter to the ER last night and come to find out on top of colic she has thrush. Which has shown signs for 3 weeks now. She just stated its formula build up and its normal. So after 5 weeks of my daughter in pain and not knowing what's going on we finally have answers.
