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.

Excellent Physician
I can only assume you can never satisfy some folks, by reading the reviews. I have found Dr. Hawkins and his staff to be outstanding caregivers. He has taken excellent care of my health needs and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Hawkins needs to work on his bedside manner. Not once did he look at me, he rushed my appointment, and he was very combative. He sent me to the hospital to have a simple procedure done. Every member of the hospital staff was cibdused as to why I was even there. Any other doctor would have done it in house. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He was completely rude, which made my experience a negative one.
