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.

Excellent visit
Good job reviewing test results & providing a referral.

Dr Golightly is the best doctor I have ever had!
I am 65 years old so to say she is the best doctor I’ve ever had is saying a lot! She listens, she cares and she always responds quickly to answer a portal question or to update me on a test result!

I absolutely love Dr. Kathleen Golightly. She is very warm and caring with a very good bedside manner. She is far beyond thorough. She always keeps me up to date on everything, goes over test results and explains it all. So much to say, not enough space to type it all. She has been my PC for around 8-9 years and I hope she never retires. :-)

Grateful Patient in Indy
I am so thankful that Dr. Golightly is my primary care physician. One evening at dinner a friend and I were discussing how we each were so pleased with our health care provider. It was then that we realized that we were both patients of Dr. Golightly! The staff is pleasant and attentive, the office is clean and well maintained, and Dr. Golightly takes her time giving full attention to my health care needs, and my questions. I couldn’t be more thankful and pleased. Even when using the patient portal to ask questions concerning my health, Dr. Golightly always responds in a timely manner.
