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.

Awful Office
AWFUL!!!! I am an RN & was a long time pt. I made a recent, yearly, checkup appt, as I had not heard from the office to schedule that appt. I had to cancel twice, due to a severe, 3 week struggle with bronchitis & rescheduled. Both appts on Mondays & office had no way to leave messages on weekends of need to cancel, so had to call that day. I was sent a letter saying they were cancelling me as a pt, due to THEIR multiple attempts at contacting me to make a yearly appt., with no response. NOT TRUE! When I called, I was told they cancelled me, because of the 2 cancelled appts, even though I was sick & did not want to expose staff or other pts. They had cancelled my upcoming appt., without contacting me! I would have to call my regular doctor & get another referral! TOTALLY unprofessional & poor pt treatment! Will not be returning!
