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. PICKOVER WAS THOUGHTFUL, KIND, GENTLE, THOROUGH IN EXAM AND ALL EXPLANATIONS. HE TOOK HIS TIME TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME AND ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION. I'D RECOMMEND HIM IN A HEARTBEAT!

Dr Pickover has been my families (mother, father, brother, husband and myself) doctor for over 25 years. He is kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend him highly to anyone that needs a gastro doctor.

I wish Dr Pickover knew how his staff treat people. They do what they want with you. They treat you like utter garbage!! With all the concerns in the reviews how come nobody is doing anything about this. Are they that desperate to keep a person that unbelievably mean running the office?? It’s a shame. I feel violated after visiting the office.
