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.

Comfort and caring
DR Petty, paid attention to details and the discomfort I was in with gall stones and specialized in giving me an opportunity to have gallbladder surgery. He listened and took time to answer any questions. Thank you for being comfort and caring! May the new year bring a journey of adventures to you sir!
