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. Doody is a kind, professional, humble, and extremely skillful doctor. He saved Henry, my sweet little son--who, after being born three months prematurely at one pound and some change, was suddenly and quite literally dying of necrotising enterocolitis. Dr. Doody performed three surgeries on my little boy and saved his life. I will always be grateful for Dr. Daniel Doody. He is our family's real life super hero! Super Doody!

Dr. Doody is the most amazing doctor I have met in my life. My daughter has had over a dozen surgeries by him and he saved her life about 3 times. There was a time when she was dying and we were making arrangements, in those worst moments in our lives we made a confident decision and our daughter LuLu survived. Dr. Doody I owe my life to you and you are beyond a 5star. Thank you!

He saved my sons life. He is so very special. I have never seen a doctor care for their patient as they were his own.
