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.

Appointment review
This last appointment and all of the one before have been very good. Dr Fenton very friendly and nice. He always makes sure to explain all points of the illness and is careful to make sure you understand. I would never hesitate to recommend him to friends or anyone. He is a great Doctor and person.

Went in to schedule and discuss my screening colonoscopy. I had been having a lot of stomach issues that are due to chronic food allergies, and have been very frustrated that I have been struggling with pain etc. and not being able to control it. Dr. Fenton took extra time to listen, then taught me several alternative solutions. He really listened. The suggestions have helped. His entire office is very kind and professional. I was even offered to participate in a colon cancer prevention research study. I am an oncology nurse that lost my MIL to colon cancer, so I am a big supporter for preventative screening! I jumped at the chance!
