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.

He is the best!
Dr Beard spends a lot of time with his patients and is very caring.

Overflowing with Kindness
My appt was yearly appt. Nothing was going on with me, but my Dr took the time to make sure he remembered who I was in a sea of patients. He knew the health struggles I have had and what we should be watching for. He took the time to talk to me and also listen to all the things I didn't realize I was going to talk to him about until we actually started talking, Even though I'm sure my appt took longer then it was scheduled for He did not rush me. I felt heard and not concerned at all that I was just another patient.

Is Dr. Beard a good physician?
After building a relationship of almost 2 years I can say Dr.Beard is so incredibly smart and kind. He listens and he asks me what’s working for me and what’s not working. He is not judge mental be responds in a timely manner if you are using the portal. I am never nervous or self conscious. I can’t emphasize enough what an amazing person and Dr he is. If I was to do residency id be so excited for him to teach me. Dr. Beard 5 stars
