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.

Disappointing Experience
I had a deeply disappointing experience with Dr. Paula Henderson. I requested her for a general check-up after not visiting the office for some time. Despite explaining I was there for a routine visit, the focus shifted to past chest pain, which was no longer an issue. I was asked to undergo an EKG, but it was ineffective due to my piercings. Dr. Henderson entered the room without knocking, while I was undressed, and dismissed my concerns with rude comments about the EKG being a “waste of time.” She continued to question me in a condescending tone, rolling her eyes and disregarding my explanations. When I questioned her frustration, she told me to leave, complaining about my visit. I stood up for myself, saying if she didn’t want to be a doctor, she didn’t have to be one. She ended the consultation, and I left. Healthcare should be patient-centered, but I felt disrespected and dismissed by Dr. Henderson’s unprofessional conduct.
