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.

Probably wouldnt recommend
Dr. Clevidence at first seemed like a good doctor but he also lacks in a lot of areas. He lacks in explaining and making sure you understand your options and making sure you understand your diagnosis/ lab results. He also uses terms that normal people who aren't doctors would understand. He is always booked out all of the time and he is not one to just order the tests that you actually need to get done.

Listens to all symptoms and big picture
I have been a patient of Dr. C’s for over 15 years. He is sharp, caring, thoughtful, up on all the latest studies in metabolic medicine, very willing to work with his patients to devise a plan that meets their goals. Funny too. A+

Great doctor
Good all around! Dr. Derek E. Clevidence, from what I can ascertain, is an amazing doctor. He is extremely knowledgeable about a wide range of medical and non medical topics. He is considerate with what you have to say and talks to you with respect. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor.

Dr. Clevidence's staff repeatedly overbooks appointments. Even Emergency appointments are treated like an inconvenience and told they will have to wait weeks for an appointment. Normal appointments are scheduled out over a month and the doctor frequently goes on "vacation", causing reschedules. The staff will go out of it's way to demonstrate how indifferent they are to this. They all sound burnt out from frequent complaints and it's not hard to understand why.
