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.

The best doctor
My visits over many years have been of highest professional standards with Dr. Bowhay. Always shows such care for taking care of my health issues at every visit over the last 15 years, I never had a Doctor before that was right on target about whatever medical issue I was seeing him about. A smart doctor!!!
