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.

Thanks Dr Kay!
I can’t thank Dr. Kay enough for the care and compassion shown to my daughter during one of the scariest times of our lives. From the very first moment, Dr. Kays was calm, focused, and incredibly reassuring—not only to us as parents, but most importantly, to our daughter.
