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.

Dr James Godwin is the best. He listens, explains, extremely knowledgeable. Friendly, outgoing and calming. I highly recommend.

I've been a patient of Dr. Godwin for several years now and I abolutely love him. He is very compassionate and always seems to really care for his patients. Most doctors don't explain things as well as he does. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a nephrologist. He works well with my cardiologist to ensure that my heart and kidneys are working well and I feel as though I'll be here for a long time thanks to the care he provides. He's one of my favorite doctors by far!
