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.

Terrible Doctor anf Practice
I accompanied my wife to her one and only appointment at Dr. Dickerson's office. Her office never communicated what to expect at this visit, let alone that it was only a consultation. The doctor insisted on drawing labs, even though my wife had a complete panel done the week prior at our PCP. After discussing our financial struggles since her cancer diagnosis last year, Dickerson stated she would submit the claims under one code and if it was denied, she'd try another, if further issues arose, she would write it off. None of that ever happened. Dickerson submitted over 2K worth of claims, never submitted the necessary codes, prior auth, referral, or supporting docs for the claims. We are currently dealing with the headache of appealing the claims with our insurance because neither Dickerson or her staff have contacted us back to resolve this. Dickerson even does a copy paste response on negative reviews on her online profiles. She is very unprofessional and not a good doctor.

Outstanding facility and doctors

Almost no wait and the staff were absolutely outstanding. Very thankful my primary care referred me here. They also let me know about preventative testing I was unaware of. I was a heavy smoker for around 35 years, 3 packs a day for 10 years. I'm now scheduled for a lung test to make sure I have no precancerous issues.
