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.

What an wonderful experience! He's extremely knowledgeable and thorough! I've never felt rushed and always felt that he listened and helped resolve my questions. I've known others that have had surgical procedures as well. Everyone I know has had an outstanding result!

Made an appointment to see Dr. for ear check. Keep me waiting for 45 minutes and I never saw him. Receptionist indicated he would be with me shortly when he was never in the building. He apparently over book or doesn’t show and has his office staff cover for him. Has no consideration for him patients time. Very unprofessional.

I went to Dr. Snow terrified of what was ahead of me and knowing I would need a biopsy on my tongue which was scarier than any procedure I had faced before. Not only did he complete my biopsy but he calmed my nerves about what might come next. He treated me like family. He never rushed through my appointments and answered every question even the stupid ones. He made what was my biggest fear a walk in the park, so to speak. He made the entire procedure virtually painless and explained every step.

I saw Dr. Snow the first time and after the exam he said “I’m not sure, take this prescription and come back in two weeks”. He gave explicit directions. In two weeks I came back with problem much worse. After exam he said “I don’t see a problem, come back in two weeks!” I don’t feel I received anything of value, no referral or suggestion, or I don’t know, just come back and give more money.
