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. Applewhite is one of the most professional and compassionate doctors I've ever had. She listens to you and makes you feel comfortable. She takes time to make sure all your questions are answered and understood. She even drew me a picture of my Thyroidectomy! I had my post-op check up recently, and all is well....I don't think I'll even have a scar.

My experience with Dr. Applewhite was exceptional! From my first visit she explained my condition, procedures and operation requirements in terms and even pictures that I could understand. I made particular note of her attention to detail and how comfortable she made me feel. My surgery was scheduled quickly and performed expertly. Post surgery she explained the outcome of the procedure and called me promptly with the pathology report. A month following surgery you can barely see the scar.
