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.

Awesome Doctor - Before Birth and After
He has been Her Doctor even before she was born. All the tests showed Down syndrome but her OBGYN Doctor and Dr. Wilbanks said to see this Doctor in Birmingham before you do anything (Abortion). We went to her and all the tests came back Positive For Down Syndrome. BUT this Doctor did not believe the results and ran them again, and the same - "positive for down syndrome". BUT she just did not believe the results and said "we are going to ask for the right to DRAW Blood straight from the baby, still came back positive BUT Not 100%. She then examined the baby inside and did the measurements, weight, Lenth, etc... When she was done 6+ hours later her words - Everything is pointing to Down Syndrome, But her opinion was - Don't Have an Abortion! I think all the tests are wrong. The baby's Size and Shape of her face are so Normal it's textbook! Even after all the tests came back Positive she said I believe 95% to 100% it's a False Positive! 4 mos. later "She's 100% Perfect!" "Trust Him"

Rude, does NOT listen.. A total joke!!
I have been given false information by not only this "doctors" receptionist as well. Another doctor verified that what was told to me was incorrect. Not only that but the receptionist, nurses and the doctor himself were incredibly rude. From brushing off serious issues to complaining about the baby spitting up on them to straight ignoring everything being told to them, I have never had more issues with an office in my life! Thankful to have found a much better doctor that actually listens and has friendly staff who don't complain and yell at their patients!
