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. Richardson helped me when the ER doctor wanted to send me home. he listened to my symptoms and skillfully diagnosed me with a failing gallbladder. he ensured that was the the cause of my issues and made sure i understood the surgery. i felt so safe with him. my pain is gone!

Dr Richardson recently reconnected a tendon in my left hand and he did it so elegantly and expertly. Tiny stitches, very little pain and my hand is recovering beautifully!!!
