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.

I would absolutely recommend Dr Hopkins! I had experience with 5 oncology doctors and she by FAR was the best. She remembers you, listens and HEARS you, spends all the time you need with her , and makes you feel like family. I am still here enjoying life and that is the best testament I can give.

Dr Hopkins has been my mother’s oncologist for several years. She always takes the time to explain the test results so my mother understands. I found out more information about my aging mother’s health from Dr Hopkins than from the other doctors. She is a very caring doctor. My Mom listens to her recommendations. Other doctors could learn a lot about how to treat and care for patients.

Dr. Hopkins takes as much time with you as you need. Usually the wait isn't long at all. If it is longer than usual you need to understand that if she gives you as much time as you need you shouldn't be upset when she gives the time to others as well. Never had much of an issue with staff returning calls. If you don't get a call back soon take initiative and call back. Dr. Hopkins and her staff spend a lot of time giving each patient personal attention.

Dr Hopkins is an excellent and caring doctor. She knows her field but her staff needs to be better with responses to returned calls of patient needs. Even after many calls you may not get a return call foe several days.

Years ago my husband and I fell in love with Dr Hopkins for not only her vast knowledge of her field but her ability to put us at ease by totally explaining everything. You walk out of her office feeling you're in the best hands possible. We go to many specialist and Dr Hopkins is by far our favorite.
