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 Best
We love Dr. Tidwell because he listens and cares. He is not pushy and he generally cares about you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. I have been treated horribly in the past by some Doctors and never really trusted anyone until I met him. He is a Christian man and that makes a world of difference. We trust all of his judgments! We are Thankful to God for this Doctor.

Ultra picky perspective
As a rule, I don't like Doctors. I don't trust them and it takes a really awesome one to get anywhere with me. Dr. Tidwell is one such Dr. I trust him completely!! Awesome exam/chair/bedside manner. He never PUSHES anything onto you and always listens to what you have to say because he's one Dr that gets that you actually know YOUR body better than anyone else. He can also "scold" you without really getting on to you and coming across in a condemning and demeaning manner. You don't actually feel scolded but that he is genuinely concerned for your health and well being. He also knows when to joke around and laugh about things AND he's an OU fan to boot. Let's put it this way, not only would and do I put my life in his hands but I have and do put the life of my child in his hands. He's an overall great family physician and someone I would recommend. And coming from me, that's a biggie.
