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.

He's the BEST Endocrinologist
I've had many doctors throughout my life, and Dr. Fields is by far the best. It took me over 35 years to finally find an endocrinologist who knows what he's doing because he too lives with Type1Diabetes. He personally contacts me through MyChart or by phone to discuss my blood test results and other healthcare concerns. I don't have to go through his staff to get answers for my questions.I've never had a long wait; in fact, I'm usually called back before settling into the waiting area. The lab also has a great system that gets you in and out quickly. Don't be intimidated by the crowded waiting room; they call back several patients at a time, so you'll be called quickly.I had to move out of state but I couldn't stand the thought of losing him as my doctor so I fly back twice a year for my checkups. The ONLY drawback is that it won't be easy getting in to see him for the first time; there will definitely be a long wait to get established as a patient.

Three things stick out in my mind, He is a very caring Doctor. When you do blood work with him, he will call you with the results, not his staff. His staff also is caring and professional.
