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 doctor's office staff is not very competent; I scheduled an appointment and they asked what insurance I had. I told them the provider and the level and they said OK. I show up for the appointment a week later and they aide said "Oh, I'm sorry we take that level but only if it's the full level". This is something they could have told me over the phone before I took time out of MY schedule and wasted a week not looking for a doctor I could go to. BAD EXPERIENCE that could happen to anyone.
