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.

He makes you know all is being done that can be done. Take all the time needed to diagnose & discus’s treatment options!

Love this doctor. He doesn’t run in & ask what’s wrong then runs out. He actually sits & listening about what’s going on in your life even if it means staying with his patients.1 hour!! Treats his patients with respect & even gets to know them, even joking with them so he see’s a smile. He is a professional, personal & a heartfelt Doctor

My family has been going to Dr Pickering for about 13 years. My kids, grown now, still choice to go to him and take their kids to him. He listens, never pushes "the book" of physicians on you, knows when it's time to take action or just take it easy. I always recommend him to anyone who ask.

Hi, Dr. Pickering. Thank you for all your time today. You are a great listener and Doctor. I did (am doing) something I have not done since I got sick. I'm a drummer. Played them most my life. You may not be aware, but drums are a great aerobic exercise. Sat down tonight to them and played them for the first time since before I got sick. Have played at least 8 full songs (Dish music channels). I am kicking butt!! Watching my O2 level also. Recovers well. I am going to turn my oxygen

I had moved to another Dr in the area. When asked about blood tests I had done and sent to pickering's office then reviewed by his head nurse then contacted me, I had found that those records were never transfered to my new medical provider which were very important. While I don't blame the dr. for this, it is obvious that not all your records are transfered in good faith to a new facility thus not having a good history of your own medical history for them to observe. Shame.

Dr. Pickering is such a patient man. You never feel rushed or unimportant in his presence. He is very funny and tries to show you the positives in your situation. He spends quite a bit of time with everyone so if your appointment is at 9:30. You might not be seen until around 10:15 or so. But rest easy knowing that he will spend that same amount of time with you. This lovely man will pray with you and help you as much as he can. I highly recommend him. He is a joy.

Dr. Pickering spends as much time as necessary with me every time I have seen him. His in-depth knowledge of many areas has been very impressive. I believe I have earned his trust and he has surely earned mine.
