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.

It was great.

He is the best. He is a good listener and a great teacher. He explains what he is doing and teaches me how to take care of it if it requires it. I tell my friends and neighbors about his caring work.

Dr. Coulter has been my podiatrist for two years. He has a rare combination of professional excellence and caring "bedside manner." Dr. Coulter patiently walks me through all procedures and engages with me in treatment decisions, respecting my thoughts. I have already recommended Dr. Coulter to others, including to my wife, who has appreciated Dr. Coulter's professional care.

This Podiatrist was extremely skilled. He took care of my issue discussed follow up care and what I should do to help prevent the same issue. He delivered everything clear and concise and the procedure he performed took minutes. It's been awhile since I walked out of an appointment completely content with my treatment and that is the only reason I felt I needed to fill out this survey because it's the least I could do. This doctor is passionate about his profession.

Dr. Coulter is always amazing. He easily makes my daughter and myself very comfortable and explains each procedure as he goes and always makes sure she feels no pain and is comfortable. More Drs out there need to take notes from his bedside manner!
