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. Okun changed my daughter's life. He and Dr. Foote performed her DBS surgery for dystonia when she was 15, in a wheelchair and painfully contorted. After a few months of tweaking the settings, she was riding her horse again and enjoying life. He is the best in his field but still personable, caring and funny.
