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.

I was amazed at how quickly my lab work was done and that Dr. Nielsen could review them with me. His explanation and discussion of my results was excellent.

Dr Nielson

I had a 2 minute telephone conversation with Dr Nielson to review all my lab results. The only that was discussed was my low iron count. He scheduled an iron infusion which I had. I would like to know why my iron is low. That wasn't mentioned as was none of the other labs.
