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.

Very concerned and thorough.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Loochtan is kind, patient, an active listener, who took his time to discuss some varied symptoms. He suggested some new explanations of my issues, and he then offered several options for treatment. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. He’s very calm and immediately put me at ease. He’s wonderful to work with.
