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.

I've been a patient of Dr. Bridges since 1996 and he's a fountain of information and a caring person that never rushes through a visit.

Amazing Doctor
I have been going to Dr. Bridges since I was a toddler. I've always enjoyed how personable he can be and how informative he is. Any questions I have, he has answers for them and does anything he can to make sure I'm getting the care I need.
