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. Zempel was our son's doctor when he was having seizures caused by a brain tumor, which was successfully removed at St. Louis Children's Hospital. He was the most patient, caring doctor we could have ever asked for and we highly recommend him to anyone needing this type of care! Thank-you, Dr. Zempel for helping our son get his life back!!
