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.

Kind, thorough, takes time!
Dr. Freedom spent a lot of time with me, and really cared about my health holistically. Talking about adjacent health concerns and making recommendations. He is kind and not judgmental. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Freedom is the best doctor I have ever seen, and I've seen over 80 with all of my health conditions. He listens, is empathetic, willing to learn from his patients, excellent with medically complex patients. He's brilliant in my opinion. If he doesn't know something, he tells you and tries to find out...sometimes researching in the appt. I don't know what I'd do without him. I see him regularly throughout the year(s), each year, to follow my conditions, per him and me. He genuinely cares!

I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy with severe cataplexy at age 15, & bounced from doc to doc trying to find a good fit for me personally, & a doctor who I felt knew their stuff. I have been seeing Doctor Freedom for 7 years, & he is by far the best neurologist I have encountered-- highly knowledgeable, welcoming to questions, and also a really nice person. When I moved out of state this spring, I asked for suggestions on a neuro in my new state, and he gave me so much good info! Best doc ever.
