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.

During the time I was a patient at this office the "doctor" has: called her office "Lexington Family Medicine" /teamed up with a separate family practice part-time /left the family practice /teamed up with a spa to offer cosmetic services /left the spa / changed the office name to "Center for Anti-Aging"/ announced she would no longer take insurance but would continue to see "medical" patients for cash / & finally, discontinued the "medical" side to do cosmetics only. One word: UNSTABLE.
