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.

Dr Gaul explained my issue well. Even though my visit ended after 5pm, Dr Gaul personally did an ultrasound on both wrists so that I would not have to make a return visit of 100 miles round trip. Scheduled prompt surgery based on my schedule.
