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. Timpton is very dismissive and condescending. I have been seeing her almost three years and she has yet to have an overview of my issues after I've been complaining and explaining for years. This doctor has called me crazy because she thought I had bipolar disorder when I 've been diagnosed for years with borderline personality disorder. I was called a drug addict. But it was I , after having rotator cuff repair surgery, request only 30 pain pills and without me asking she increased it to 60

I liked that Dr. Timpton explained as she went and does thorough blood work. Her staff was funny and friendly. I dislike that my appointment was for 9, but no one arrived til about 920. There are limited spots for walk ins on random days so someone almost knocked me over trying to get in and get one of the 3 spots. I also was given misinformation & overpaid by $100 but was not contacted for a refund. My insurance called on my behalf, no refund. Also Appointments take over a month. That sucks.
