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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rierson?
Dr Rierson is amazing. He always takes the best care of me or my family (yes we are accident prone). Always has patients needs first and wants and most importantly provides the best care. Wonderful bedside manor. Never rushes through appointments. But your not waiting forever for him to get to you. He is amazing and has a well assembled team. Mary keeps him on task and they work great together. Highly recommend. He has done several surgeries for myself and family members. All of which have fixed and been above expectations. Now to invest in the bubble wrap. Thanks Dr Rierson and team for amazing care!
