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 was my doctor for 22 years, I wish I could’ve taken him when I moved. Attentive, good listener and no matter how busy takes his time. Was always available when needed and I highly recommend him to anyone in that area. In fact I live in Michigan now and spoke with him about a health issue when in between doctors, he talked to me and called in a prescription for my synthroid when had trouble getting an appointment before I ran out. He left off with call if you need me.
