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. Head is amazing! He delivered my baby 24 years ago and now he takes care of GYN and Uro. needs. On 12/31/19 I had urodynamic testing, annual and mammogram all in one day! The staff are wonderful Melissa and Angie put me aat ease and explained everything to me and walked me through every step of my visit. Julie met me in the waiting room to make sure I was good and my paper work and sign in was seamless. The entire off staff are great. I would not go anywhere else for my womens health needs!

He's an amazing person and doctor, he makes me feel comfortable and at ease and I've recommended him to both my daughter's and other relatives and friends.
