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.

Did an excellent job with my husband's surgery. Explained everything very well. I appreciate a doctor that is straightforward and positive about his skills.

By far the best Dr. I have ever had. Bed side manner and knowledge on fixing me in such a critical situation was amazing. I have never been sick or had surgery and I wasn’t afraid at all...He made me feel secure and I felt he knew what he was doing because he did!
