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.

I have a significant amount of allergies and was concerned about the preparation. Dr. Real listened to my concerns and proved several options for me to consider and we found the best suitable option. I appreciated the time he took to listen and address my concerns.

Dr Real was precise and very clear about his plan to figure out my long term issues and from the worse case scenarios to the simplest. I felt more confident after visiting this office than in office I've been to in a very long time. I'm thanking God already for his discernment!
