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.

My son Andy was 58 days old when he had massive heart issues. Doc (quack) in Knoxville said take him home, be proud of what time we had with him. I went off verbally. We had Andy flown to Vanderbilt. We had to drive 4 hrs to get there. Dr. Dodd met us on that Saturday night within 3 minutes of our arrival, had found the problem & had surgery scheduled for Monday. There were some oxygen complications during & after surgery making him special needs, but that was 23 years ago. Andy is 6' 5" today.
