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.

Horrifying Appointment
Didn't see Dr Kirkpatrick saw another doctor under her . Inform me that my PSA was 6 I just did bloodwork 3.7 in August. Doctor wanted to do bloodwork she think I have cancer I was told last year in March that i no sign of cancer PSA 3.7 then she want set up a biopsy I told her she was not touching me. Then she wanted to take me off the medication that l was taken l told that was not a good idea. Doctor left the office never did see her again. I was poked two times before they got blood. When l left l was confused and worried that l had cancer!!!!! Very horrified experience Friday .Doctor that l seen should not be allowed !!!!
