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 Sykes is by far the best neurologist I've seen. He spent the time to thoroughly understand my symptoms, reviewed all documents and data provided, and made an informed decision on the condition itself, which I had not gotten from others after 3 months of dealing with the issue

Dr. Sykes was wonderful throughout the appointment. He was supportive and empathetic; very thorough in his examination, questions and explanations; was curious and a great listener In terms of wanting to understand my experience and data that I had to share; and has that rare combination of humility combined with a professional confidence and expertise that you just immediately appreciate and respect. I truly feel grateful to have had the good fortune to have been seen by him and his team.
