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.

Excellent physician. Explains medical condition thoroughly. Takes time to listen to patient. Is extremely knowledgeable and found a disease progress others had missed for years by his expertise. I can’t say enough about my trust in him and that is a rare find in this entire area.

Dr. Budd is wonderful. Knowledgeable, kind and professional. Some techs not so good. Two years in a row I had a wrong test completed and this time I persistently told the tech to recheck the orders. Not so... I waited over 45 min with eyes dilated in the public waiting room... felt so nauseous. When finally tested, Tech ignored me when I said test format was not the same one I had prior. The doctor listened and showed the tech that my test was not correct.
