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.

Medical Gaslighting
Dr. Eric Root does not seem to be capable of listening. He talked over me, cut me off, told me I was wrong about the symptoms I was experiencing. I think gaslighting is pretty common in doctors, but I have never experienced anything like this. I would strongly recommend avoiding him.
