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.

My favorite doctor ever. I have multiple issues and he listens actively and speaks respectfully in ways that are easy to understand. He remembers the details of just volumes of information involved in my health. I trust him with my complex healthcare, and feel pretty fortunate to have him as my primary care going on 3 years.

After being this doctor's patient for over a year, with several extensive office visits, he seemed to know very little about me when I would visit his office. He never took notes while in the office, and medical records retrieved from his office show that I only visited a couple times and there was no information about why I was actually seen, and I am someone with an extensive medical record who is seen for several different health concerns. I'm so happy with my new provider.
