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. Bandy and Nurse Donna are very efficient and very professional, addressing the illness of RA primarily. Dr. is up to date on current findings with the disease and medications and therapies available. I was a patient of St.Vincent for many years, and now have gone to this physician and am very satisfied. I'm assured of what is going on with my health. He is a good doctor, some people don't like him cause they think he is not friendly. I just believe he is very serious about what he does.
