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, McDaniel has been our family doctor for almost 20 years. The care that he has provided for myself and family has been impeccable. My children grew up with a lot of health problems and thanks to his care we have found great specialist that he has referred me to, my children have always been in good care and condition. His care and compassion for his patients is incredible. Thank you Dr. McDaniel.
