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.

Fantastic Doctor
Dr Porter is always very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient whenever I am there for my appointment. He is always there to greet me with a bright smile, and is warm and welcoming. During my visits, he is friendly and I always leave satisfied. Jennifer, who is the nurse, is also helpful and friendly too.
