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.

Terrible!
I saw Dr Pillsbury back in the '80s when I had terrible vertigo and he told me it was all in my head because he had me breathe in three times really fast and asked me if I was dizzy. So I basically went to another doctor who found a fistula in my inner ear and repaired it. So glad this man retired!!! I feel he is dangerous. And his technician told me it was safe to go swimming underwater when the doctor who found the problem told me I could have drowned had I done so.
