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.

Dr. Knutson was very concerned about my problem and gave me the options and we discussed what is best for me! She's excellent!

She didn't really feel what I was feeling that was of concern, and just said it would be caused by birth control. So the problem that I'm having is still an area of concern for me since she didn't try to actually see what I was feeling.

Above and beyond care for patients!
Throughout the pregnancy, Dr. Knutson was such a great communicator with questions, even between visits. She always made us feel at ease, even with our toddler running around the room during some appointments. Finally, when it came time for us to have our twins, Dr. Knutson came in, when she wasn't even on call any longer, to help so I wouldn't have to have a c-section for the second baby as she stayed breech after the first baby was born. Not only did this help to not have to recover from both, but helped us to stick with the birth plan we had hoped for. I am very grateful for Dr. Knutson.
