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 had Lung Cancer and was referred to Dr. Harpole by my pulmonary doctor. I like what was side at the meeting. I listen to him. I like him and what was said. Dr. Harpole and surgical staff was excellent. I saw him and he explained my chances for survival etc. Day of surgery he was there to make sure I did not have any questions. Every day he came to my room to ascertain I was doing fine and check my progress. In addition to coming everyday, two members of his team also came in the morning and afternoon. There also was a hospital doctor on call. My heart rate escalated day 3 and a doctor was there within minutes. I was there Thursday thru Sunday. The day nurse on Friday was horrible, disappeared at 3pm after she found out my family member was gone. The evening nurse in charge of the floor was a nite mare from hell. Very unprofessional.
