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 Chaisson is a very knowledgeable. She's a nice person in general with a good bedside manner. She always asks about how I'm doing in general and not just for the reason I'm seeing her. She always takes whatever time we need together. Sometimes there is a longer than expected wait

Dr. Chaisson is just the best. Knowledgeable, kind to a fault, realistic in her approach to care. She has cared for my sleep apnea for years and provided care for me at Griffin when I needed post surgical care. She is simply the best you can get!

Wow ! I've just begun a battle with lung cancer. Dr. Chaisson took the time to thouroughy explain my situation. Reviewed my x-ray and CAT scan with me on the computer, and discussed alternative treatment plans. She made it clear that my condition is serious, but, more than likely, not the end of the road. I left her office with a good knowledge of my situation, a map to alternative next steps, and a better feeling about my entire situation.
