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.

Professional and efficient! Excellent work!

My daughter had wisdom teeth surgery by Dr. Padgett. Everything was explained very well before and after the procedure. The doctor was great to deal with and he even personally called our daughter the evening of her procedure to see how she was doing.

Business office is not forthcoming with regards to cost. Misleading and deceptive practice by the business office. Would not recommend.

Surgery went rougher than the initial assessment. Cost questions of possible treatments only looked at treatment under immediate consideration. As questions arose, answers became vague and left to financing staff to answer. Seeking new options elsewhere with clearer cost parameters.
