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. Fecther is one of the most caring and helpful doctors I have ever seen. His willingness to explain things and go out of his way to help me, even after hours if I call, is like no other physician I've seen. I've got complex multi system medical problems, and he takes the time to try and get to the bottom of things. When I have questions or don't understand something, he goes above and beyond to make sure I know what's going on.

Dr. Fechter is one of the finest physicians I have ever encountered. He is knowledgeable without being condescending, compassionate, and expresses a deep concern for the welfare of his patients and their families. He explained my asthma condition to me by drawing diagrams and presenting it in a way to make sure I understood. I highly recommend him.
