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.

I came to the doctor 8 weeks ago for the first time due to a basketball knee injury. I was told the route I should take for the motion of leg to come back and the pain to go away. I then had an MRI done & proceeded with the healing. After the coming back for the second time I was seen by a different doctor not Mr.Atwell, in which the appointment was for my leg still feeling uncomfortable and I wanted to know how to get back strength in my leg, what works out I could do to help me get back on the court and work.During that second appointment with just to be told exactly what I was told over the phone about MRI and that I should still proceed the same things I’ve been doing even though by then my leg was moving it still feels weirdly uncomfortable. Finally on my 3rd visit I was able to see Mr.Atwell again , I came in for a earlier work note.Although yes I needed a work note due to missing number amounts of weeks with no work and also I play basketball in college. I am Unpleased & in pain
