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.

Slow sloppy service and outrageou billing
Do NOT visit. On December 11 I visited the emergency room with a cut on the knuckle of my ring finger. When I arrived, the waiting room was completely empty, and I was admitted quickly. That is where the positive experience ended. The nurse who first saw me asked the basic questions- height, weight, etc. When I told her my weight she said 'whoa!!!!' I am 5'10' and wear a size 6, and work out or ride my horse 6 days a week. I asked if my weight was a problem, and she shrugged and responded that it was lower than hers. She didn't look at the cut finger, or even offer to replace the bloody paper towel I was using to stop the bleeding. I then waited an hour for the doctor, Dr. Thomas Kupka, who immediately said I'd need stitches, and that he'd be back to take care of it. I then waited another 45 minutes for him to come back. At this point he was getting ready to start stitching my finger, when I asked him if the cut should be cleaned before he stitched it. He said, 'oh, it wasn't cleaned
