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.

Freddy Smith annual check up
Eric is knowledgable, personable and professional. Good guy. Best of all, he seems to excercise good judgment on when and when not to apply medications or other treatments vs letting the condition run its course.

TERRIBLE
The worst doctor I’ve ever been to in my entire life. Rude, arrogant, disrespectful and absolutely couldn’t care less about taking care of me. Somehow I got Switched to him when Dr. Brandt retired and I only Saw him 2 times, bc of newly developed type 2 diabetes and hypertension. He does not care about his patients and that was abundantly clear.

Great doctor and nurse
Emily Dr.Waguspacks nurse got us worked in. Thank God because my mom( the patient) had a blood clot. Dr. Waguspack knew right a way and quickly got all of her tests run which was wonderful because she is 90 with Alzheimer’s. He and his nurses are always pleasant and knowledgeable.
