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.

Worst experience
I went in for sinus congestion, fatigue, headaches, and some pressure when breathing. I was asked if I'm married or have kids. I said no. I was asked if I live with anyone. I said no. Then she said then since I have no one to spread it to there is nothing to be concerned about. She just said it was probably viral. I left with no medication or any testing done. Nothing to relieve my symptoms.

Friendly, but not confident in having my infant as a patient. Explanations were confusing and treatment decisions were made before lab work was completed. Eventually got a second opinion.
