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.

Always knowledgeable, explains everything well, kind and down to earth.

I am confident in his abilities
I have been seeing him for about 2 years. He treats my high blood pressure and some other mild heart rhythm issues. I am confident in his diagnosis and treatment plan. He is very nice and listens to what I am saying. I don’t feel that my visit is rushed. The office staff and nursing staff are also very nice and competent. I would and have recommended Dr Degroat to friends.
