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.

IDr. Hempel always takes time for me. He is truly concerned about my health. I completely trust him to do what is best for me. He listens to me. And is very patient with me. He has been my doctor for many years.

I have had quite a number of health problems and Dr. Hempel has gone above and beyond to help diagnose and treat me. I ended up having a rather rare condition and Dr. Hempel persisted and persisted until I got the treatment I needed. I have called him after hours and I have always received a prompt response. After having doctors who spent no more than 7 minutes diagnosing me, it is a welcome change to have a doctor who will spend as long as he needs to in order to get to the root of the issue. As an added bonus, his staff is exceptionally kind and supportive.

Dr Hempel is a wonderful doctor. He is a good listener and explains things very well. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He is about preventative health and doesn't just hand out a prescription unless necessary. Best doctor in town !

I heard he was a good doctor. He was recommended to us by a friend. I called and left a message several days ago about setting up an appointment, and no one has ever called back.
