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.

I have an interesting rare heart defect. Dr. Kirkpatrick took an incredible amount of time to explain to me every detail and question that I have had or could have about my issue. He was helpful, on time, smart and incredibly communicative. I am so glad that he is my doctor and in charge of my heart issues.
