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 was very alarmed by the lack of follow-up, lack of instruction, and general lack of concern or care that Dr. Gotwalt showed. She did not address or even look into a very treatable condition I had brought up on every visit throughout my pregnancy, but instead dismissed it. She didn't have time for questions, I always felt rushed. The final straw was the incorrect due date calculation. My son was born at 38 weeks, according to my due date, but was actually 42 weeks gestational age.
What went well
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Staff friendliness
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
  • Long wait times
