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. Ellis's bedside manner is excellent; she's professional, respectful, courteous, compassionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. She was incredible throughout my pregnancy and delivery.

What an amazing doctor! Her bedside manner and knowledge are both extraordinary and I am so blessed to have found her. She really took the time to explain and teach me and I didn’t feel like just a number in her office. It’s so refreshing to leave a doctor's office feeling valued and empowered. She is a true gem...the world needs more doctors like her.
