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 A Good Fit for Complex Cases or OTC
Dismissed serious symptoms, arrogant, condescending, and terrible bedside manner. The west coast is devoid of any competent OTC specialists. Traveled east to find answers which were revealed by the specialist immediately upon viewing the MRI. Save precious time, money, and stress and head to the east coast for complex cases.
