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.

This guy is really good. He's very knowledgeable and takes the time to go over things in detail. He's very scientific oriented and I got a LOT of good information from him. He also addresses my questions very well. Wish I had run into him a LONG time ago. He spent plenty of time with me. I would not hesitate to use again. Very pleased.
