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.

Excellent! Very kind and answers all questions. Has been my Dr. for years. He is positive and encouraging also.

Although he has excellent credentials, he does not take the time to answer the patient's questions. Instead, he refers all questions to a staff member. I'm not paying for the staff member's expertise. I'm paying the doctor, and I want his time and attention.

Our entire family has seen Dr. Peavy for years. He is a very patient, kind and down to earth person. He is happy to take time for explanations, and yet always sees us in a timely fashion. 5 stars! Kind staff, also.

Dr. Peavy treats my 80 year old mother. He is so incredibly patient and respectful with elderly patients. Many doctors sidestep older patients and focus on the younger person in the room in order to get information more quickly. He engages and includes her in all discussions and focuses on her. His bedside manner and sense of humor always make her feel so comfortable. He is also an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend him.
