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.

After the surgery with McAllister, I had an internal bleed that he ignored and delayed taking action on which resulted in a nerve damaged leg - permantley swollen and numb knee to foot. Because he was too busy to address the bleed, it hardened and created permanent nerve damage.
