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.

She has NO bedside manners. Rude and gives you short answers. I waited almost two months to see her and my visit with her was cut short by her rudeness when I asked a question. There’s absolutely no need to treat patients this way.

I have just recommended Dr. Woods to yet another family member. I have been a patient for over 20 years. She is one of the most compassionate and skilled physicians who has ever cared for me. I highly recommend her.
