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 Reese treated me with disrespect. He pushed on my shoulder and said I have arthritis. He noticed I have mentioned on the form I filled out that I have fibromyalgia and said I will get better now since my children are getting older and I can sleep better??? My son is 27 and out of the house. He told me to see my PCP and let him treat me. Sad, wish I had never gone.
