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.

This office is so UNPROFESSIONAL! I have been a patient for over 9 years, and I can't believe I tolerated such. Long wait times, unless your getting lab work or an infusion; and some of the staff are involved in unethical behavior. My recent visit - it took 15 minutes to complete the check-in process. From the time in which I rang the doorbell to be let into the office, update of patient information, blood pressure/temp check, and then be placed into a room. I was placed in a corridor with that was quiet, and away from the hustle and bustle of the office. I could overhear the staff members talking about other patients, and some of sly, unethical comments the staff made to the patients. I waited over an hour and when asked when was the doctor going to see me, I was told that I arrived late for my appointment, and that the doctor was currently meeting with patients online. Was it my fault that it took so long for the check-in process? I arrived on-time. The courteous thing to.

Dr. Beardell diagnosed and treated me for a very rare disorder. He takes as much time as necessary to explain the situation and his plan to treat it. I find Dr. Beardell to be a very caring person who treats each patient with respect. Thank you Dr. Beardell for taking such great care of me.

Dr. Beardell is always willing to discuss questions that I have, and to explain treatment options, and why he is choosing them, which is very important to me in choosing a doctor.

He is patient and caring, answers questions fully and clearly, and he returns phone calls. I never saw him act as if he did not have the time I needed.
