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.

Dr. Ruth Atkinson is one of the best of the best Hematology and Oncology physicians that I know. Dr. Atkinson was my mother's oncologist for many years. My mother Clara Mae Steele was diagnosed with stage 4 Breast Cancer in the early 90's. Prognosis did not look good as we expected. Dr. Atkinson explained to us professionally what to expect and she also gave us spiritual hope. Life expectancy was 3 months according to past patients. My mother lived 4 good years. Thank you God & Dr. Atkinson!
