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.

One of a kind
Dr. Brake has been treating me for around 20 years. He is compassionate and always makes time for you and answers all your questions. I trust him with all my needs.

Professional, responsive and oh so kind!
Dr Brake is very professional. He listens closely to his patients. He asks all of the appropriate questions and gives good feedback. He is empathetic and kind. We’ve been to many doctors over our 70ish years and we feel Dr Donald Brake is the very best since Dr Ray Nicholson!!
