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.

The doctors and nurses really take the time to listen to my problems and are very thorough with finding the problems. This is the only doctor's office that has really helped me and not made me feel like I am imagining pain. So far, the treatments have really worked and I'm on the road to living pain free.
