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.

Not worth your time or money
I went through the program about 5 years ago. Much of the staff, like Mr Chriss are very nice and understanding. However, Dr Covington is very quick to judge, does not take the to listen, and humiliated me twice in front of other patients

I was in the pain rehab program. I was pegged as a druggie even though I was not, but they assumed bc I was a nurse.. WRONG,. Dr Covington had the foulist mouth I had ever heard. I understood the concept of the program, but was what a arrogant man,, I met a very nice woman in the program in 2003, and we are still best of friends. I did get a few good things out of the program. There was even a nurse working that refused to even speak to me bc I was a nurse.

Dr. Covington, while very knowledgable, permiates his clinic with a judgemental, condescending and sometimes cruel environment. This behavior is mimicked by his doctor underlings and nursing staff. Patients routinely come in taking pain meds which can lead to eradic behavior. I witnessed the staff frequently roiling their eyes at patient behavior and publically scolding them. Every day, at least one patient was berated to tears, again in a meeting with other patients present.
