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.

If you have any issues with chronic pain, I would suggest going to literally anyone else. I was referred to her from two different people that said she was caring and kind. I had a very different experience. After following through with her suggestions I was basically told that I wasn't actually in the amount of pain that I claimed I was in. I'm not sure how she came up with her diagnosis,  but I'm thinking it was based more on personal opinion than medical knowledge. I have gone back to my original doctor, and refuse to see her again.

I have seen Dr. Eischens for the past 9 years for myself and my family. She truly cares about you as a person, not just another patient. I am incredibly sad to move away as it will be tough to find another doctor to fill her shoes.
