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.

If hand surgery can be described as a good experience (?), Dr. Chance made it so. He's approachable, takes all the time needed, and as far as I can tell, did a fantastic job with a very complex break!

Dr. Chance practices a type of medicine that one doesn't see any more. He listens to the patient rather than typing into a screen and he has compassion for your ailment - without being dismissive.
