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.

Terrible front desk staff
Their office closes at 5 pm. After trying to reach them in the morning and afternoon was without any luck I figured I'd try before they close thinking they were busy with the morning and afternoon rush. My last attempt was at 4:45 pm. They picked up and put me on hold, and dropped the call at 5pm. If their staff is this careless what does that say about their leader?
