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.

Excellent, the Dr provided some insight into my condition.

I was extremely late for my appointment due to traffic. But the provider spent great deal of time seeing me and explaining to me the next courses of action for my next visit. They could have rescheduled me for this appointment but she did not.
