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.

Doctor Morality
Not that this comes as a surprise to anyone who reads these reviews, but Duralia is an arrogant, disrespectful person. His website bio stating he "believes that listening to his patients is key" is a complete lie. He's interested only in pushing his opinions and values on you, and if you disagree, you're a bad christian and a bad person. BUT if you like hearing that you're baby died during pregnancy because you couldn't handle twins, this is the place for you!

Dr. Duralia is the most personable person, who spends time getting to know his patients. He responds to the Patient Portal very quickly, shares his knowledge, will refer usually at the request of his patient. I'm always seen very quickly, if ill.
