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.

Dr. Ginther saved my life. I didn’t know who he was until I just found my CT report from that day, but I will never forget him. Thank you for taking the youngish, blonde, healthy woman seriously and diagnosing my stroke.

Terrific doctor. Wonderful experience with Dr Ginther and the hospital services overall. I was visiting from out of town and had an emegency medical condition. The staff couldn't have been more thorough in quickly evaluating my condition and Dr Ginther's evaluation and recommendations kept us on track for our return trip home the following day.
