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.

Friendly, efficient, and gave me peace of mind when I met with him about an infection I had.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Smith?
Dr. Smith appears to be listening, but if he can't give you an instant diagnosis, he will give you the permanent stigma of having a mental illness. He also orders STD labs without your knowledge, and without even asking if you're sexually active, or if you've already been tested. This doctor caused me a lot of damage. I was in a great deal of pain for years before I actual found a CARING doctor who was able to diagnose and treat me. Dr. Smith is a disgrace to the Hippocratic Oath.
