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 met Bill Hickerson when I was a patient in the Elvis Presley Burn Center in Memphis in 1986. I had 3 skin graft surgeries and 5 scalp excisions to remove a very large bald spot that I had managed to create with a grease fire. His professionalism, bedside manner and willingness to do whatever I needed to help me recover. My right hand was also severely burned. After the grafting surgeries I had almost no movement in that hand. Since that time, I yet to go to a Dr. that has not been impressed with the healing and movement that I have. Today, most people that meet me have no idea that I was ever burned. There is nothing that I cannot do with that hand. I will always be grateful to having landed with Dr. Hickerson as my burn Doctor - and I know just how lucky I was.
