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.

Good bedside but failed to fulfill prescription
Good bedside manner, listened to my observations of condition severity. Failed to fulfill prescription in its entirety (ordered the oral treatment but downright REFUSED to order the topical skin treatment). My condition is a public health threat, highly contagious and a skin condition that responded well to prescription topical ointment. He refused to fill this part of the prescription in spite of the advanced condition and despite me confirming the ointment helped immensely.. leaving me stranded, zero over the counter low dose options in 2 counties for the 60 days!

Amazing with my son!
Dr. Stearns totally exceeded our expectations when we had to visit the ER with my son. My son is strong willed and has sensory issues, and Dr. Stearns was just amazing with him. The best doctor we have seen in 4 years, and we’ve seen a lot! He is knowledgeable, kind, patient and his heart is in it for the right reasons. Thank you!
