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.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Putnam and his staff. He performed a lobectomy after I was diagnosed with lung cancer. He is a very caring man with so much concern and compassion for his patients. I am so glad I chose him to care for me.

Dr. Putnam is a fabulous surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He performed a lobectomy on my right lung in 2014 at Vanderbilt. I highly recommend this wonderful doctor.
