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.

I have been seeing Dr. Laxalt for quite a few years. She is so compassionate, kind, thorough and non-judgmental. I would highly recommend her. I am just sad because she left St. Mary's and I have not been able to find out where she is now practicing. If anyone knows, please post a review here with the location/phone number.
