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.

Dismissive and Dishonest
This man was not my child’s surgeon but was involved in my child’s care. He wilfully misinterpreted my concerns about the care and treatment of my disabled child who had been in a severe car accident. He was dismissive and condescending. He also attempted to gaslight me by claiming he saw my child multiple times in a day and he absolutely did not.

Hands down saved my daughters life
Dr Adamson performed two surgeries on my newborn, the prognosis was not good. He was calming, reassuring, and performed a miracle. I am forever thankful.
