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.

Nobody like him! He's the best! So detailed, focused and thorough. He spends nights/weekends going over your lab work and will call you to discuss, recommend other actions or tests. Sunday, 10-31-21, 8:45pm, he just called with ECHO results. Love him to the moon & back! My husband uses him too. A+++ in our book
