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 brought my son to Dr. Cherry twice about gastric reflux. She suggested Zantax and this has terrible side effects. This destroys the good flora in the gut and destroys the good micro organisms in the body that fight off bacteria. I took my son to the emergency room and he was diagnosed with Larynxgomylasia. He had an X-ray and they found an under developed larynx. I called this office three times and I could not reach her. The discharge plans says take him to a Pediatric Pulmonary Specialist.
