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.

Actually listens to your concerns and cares
This was one of the only doctors that ever treated me like a human and not a file.

I met Dr. Doerr after a bad car accident with whiplash/back pain in 2006. He was able to alleviate my pain by ordering an MRI, muscle relaxants, and sending me for physical therapy. He is also able to treat some carpal tunnel symptoms. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Just because he is not affiliated with Southcoast or Primacare does not matter as he doesn't need to be as he has a self-controlled practice.
