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 like that she's located in the community. The staff get you in when urgent matter to be address. Nurse practitioner also is available for consultation prior to scheduling an appointment.

Staff is friendly enough and Dr. Babugowda is friendly enough when in with patient. Biggest issue is when calling to talk to nurse or doctor. Never call back. I ALWAYS had to call them back the next day after waiting for them to call. Did not matter if I called in the morning or afternoon. Person answering phone was pleasant, said they would put the message for call back and then it did not happen. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
