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.

Dr Smith is very professional
Dr Smith is able to explain the procedure in layman's terms. I feel confident with her ability to treat my condition.

Dr. Smith has a warm and congenial personality. Her language and rationale in guiding the patient through various options for treatment is practical and easy to understand. She provides the first scenario to fix the problem, followed by her reasoning as to what the first steps are so other options would therefore be viable if needed. That way, no doors to a solution are closed. Her confident bedside manner leaves me knowing she is experienced and has the expertise to help me with my pelvic floor weakness. She comes highly recommended by her peers and has great bedside manner.
