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.

Dr Smith was amazing- she listened really well and adapted her recommendations based on the information we shared. My son went from feeling like the visit was a waste of time to wishing she could be his regular doctor. I was very impressed. She also explained things quickly and in a way that made it easy to understand what the problem was with my son's thumb. She was efficient and inspired confidence.

I already recommended Summit to two other people. This was my first visit but I felt like everyone truly cared. I appreciated how Dr. Smith drew pictures of the channel, tendons, and nodules as she explained what was wrong with my hand. I am a visual learner and greatly appreciated that. She also shared the xrays and explained the xray in great detail.
