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.

Covers all items.
Excellent listener. Very complete explanations.

Bob
Dr. Puffer is one of the most ocnscientious physicians I have ever met. He listens fully to questions/concerns and provides accurate, honest, understandable explanations. I don't know of many healthcare providers who put down the pen/paper/tablet and look directly at you when your are speaking. It would be hard to find a better oncologist to partner with on this cancer journey.
