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. Beckford was thorough in her diagnosis. I appreciated her answering my questions. She is a blessing and would gladly (hopefully I don't have to...) see her again in the ER.

She misdiagnosed me, She also gave me the wrong medicine. On top of that, she did not even let me recover from the pain of not getting any resolution. After going to a caring doctor who actually told me I did not have what she stated, to stop taking the wrong med. I was told what I really had and that helped me bring 90% resolution. I was for months in severe pain due to her dismissive hurried care. I was just another body to her. On top of that she did not even give me a chance to pay, I only got a statement on 5-4 from a Collection Agency. She is just money hungry. So so sad!!!! The hospital helped me financially. As she did not!!
