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.

Numerous attempts to diagnosis a sever cough by physicians and specialist resulted in their mutual COPD finding. Several atomized inhaler and rescue inhalers were percribed, unfortunately without any symptom relief. Dr. Walke's single visit correctly identified my problem, ( YEY,NOT as COPD). He prescribed a very simple,once per day, nasal inhaler to replace all 8 of my daily previous nebuluzer and rescue inhaling procedures thereby my 1st restful night in months. I trust this talented physican
