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.

What exemplary adjectives can I write that haven't already been written about Dr. Bergin. I am going to Washington to lead the drive to make room for him on Mt. Rushmore. My gratitude to him for his care, his kindness, his extraordinary expertise know no limit whatsoever. I am honored to know and be cared for by him.

Dr. Bergin was great, he listened to us and checked my husband over. He promised to contact two other doctors that my husband sees to coordinate ideas and medications. I was really pleased with his visit with Dr. Bergin.
