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.

Best of the best
Dr. Ware is exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and confident. He helped alleviate any stress I had after a terrible knee injury that resulted in a torn ligament and fractured kneecap. I went from not being able to walk, to back on my feet in only 3 months thanks to him. His staff that work along side him are also great.

Worse Doctor ever
Dr Ware is one of the worst doctor I have seen. He could not be bother by explaining anything to me. He would not listen to my concern. When I asked him a question he started lecturing me. He did not want to help me, I am with another doctor now. The visit with him was less than 5 minutes. I then got a long doctor office visit billed to me, my insurance company said that what was billed was a code of an office visit of 30 to 39 minutes. He is only concerned with making as much money with doing the least amount of work. He was not even concerned with helping me.

What could be improved
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
