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.

Dr Garces is a breath of fresh air and sets the standard as a practitioner. His attitude, energy, and ability to communicate effectively and efficiently are above reproach. I have had too many Dr's in the last couple of years, specialist for this and for that, so I was dreading another appointment. I was extremely surprised, and wonderfully pleased with our visit. Other Dr's should strive to achieve his level of practice.
