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.

Lost an index finger due to his misdiagnosis.
I’m missing a finger due to his incompetence, misdiagnosis changed my life, career, and forced me through one of the most painful surgeries of life to be told years later by another doctor he screwed up. Really upset.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Earp?
Dr. Earp was my doctor for MANY years. I finally left for a "better" doctor. Dr. Earp did NOT listen to me regarding some serious health issues. Over a 10-yr period, I lost 119 lbs! Had constant diarrhea but was ignored. That is why I left his practice. I found that I had a serious gastric intestinal condition that caused severe weight loss, dehydration, no absorption of foods (protein, vitamins, etc.). This condition could have killed me - I was down to 119 lbs.!

getting through on the phone line is very hard. There are multiple lines you have to wait through to eventually get a voicemail. Dr Earp is fine. The operation around him needs serious work. The waiting room is also about 1 hour behind.
