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.

Worse doctor ever!
He does not care for his patients and listen to them. When he comes in the room he doesn't even know what's going on with them. His license needs to be removed

Dr. Gwaltney has the worst bedside manner I’ve ever seen. I’ve been an RN working in a hospital setting for 10 years and have never encountered a physician as rude to their patients as Dr. Gwaltney is.

I have been seeing Dr. Gwaltney off and on for about 8 years. In October 2014, Dr. Gwaltney did in fact save my life, by removing 2 ties that had turned gangrenous. Sepsis had set in, causing other major problems! He is still currently treating the healing of my foot! Dr. Gwaltney is a highly skilled surgeon, and I am proud to say has become my friend as well as doctor!
