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.

I called 1 hour before my appointment and asked if there were any forms I would need to fill out prior to arrival and that I would be paying in cash. I was told 1 form about demographic information.I arrived 10 min before my appointment and was handed several forms that needed to be filled out. Complete contradiction to what I was told an hour prior over the phone. An argument ensued about what I was actually told. I had a very busy day and was attempting to streamline the process. I was told to leave because of my lack of interest in filling the forms out. Seriously dodged a bullet. STAY AWAY
