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.

Our loved one with dementia was verbally rude. Dr. wanted nothing to do with him after that. We explained the patient went from normal blood pressure to blood pressure of 200, normal gait to unable to walk unaided, decent vision to seeing double, all occurring in under 24.hours. Dr. asked what we wanted him to do . Did we want an antibiotic since one cleared these dementia issues for the patient a couple weeks ago but he was busy. He asked if we were unable to get the patient back home.
