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. Hewitt is by far the best doctor my wife and I have ever seen. We rarely way more than 10 minutes before being seen. His staff he is very courteous and will go way beyond what’s you expect to take care of financial and pharmaceutical needs.

Wonderful doctor with a great “bedside manner”. Takes the time to explain and discuss the issue(s). I’ve had great responses from the staff and rarely waited over a week for an appointment.

Took an entire month to get seen. Given 2 time periods to choose from and the scheduler recorded the wrong appointment time. I was told I had to come back 6 hours later to be seen. Completely unprofessional - I'm going to have to find a doctor that will actually see me.

Dr. Hewitt is one of the best doctors in town! I'm glad I chose him. I've been to so many other doctors, and they didn't care as much as he did! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Hewitt is an amazing physician. He is very personable along with being very knowledgeable and up to date with current practices and therapies. He is also happy to try alternative therapies and is open minded. Dr Hewitt had been my physician for 15 years and much longer for the rest of my family. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
