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.

Awesome Dr
She is the only va dr I will take my mom (who is a veteran) to.

The most cold, condescending Dr I’ve ever had. DO NOT TRUST HER, SHE WILL STEER YOU WRONG AND YOUR HEALTH WILL SUFFER FOR IT.

I've seen Dr. Hume for years. She is one who takes her time asking questions and listening. She is a very caring and thorough doctor. She works best with precise and specific information. You can count on her and she cares a great deal.

Never recommend. Every question you answer, she will disagree with your answer. Example : I don't think you can hurt there or your blood work is good when she hasn't ordered blood work. She would be looking at the year before. The worst!
