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. Scales saw me all the way through uterine cancer, even travelled to be with me and assist the oncologist. He has a beautiful way of placing you at ease and is the ONLY Gynecologist I will see or recommend.

My family has known Dr.Scales for many years. He had always been highly recommended.From my personal experience they were right.He fully cares,and thoroughly explains everything a patient needs to and deserves to know.Usually it's a really long wait time but once seen by him it's all worth it,I've had my experiences with other doctors and they don't compare to his effectiveness.I fully trust him with my health.Great loving doctor.
