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 was a patient of Dr. Powell's several years ago. He is a thorough, kind, understanding doc. He explains issues and solutions in layman's terms and he always follows up. My only complaint would be his impolite nurse with the northern accent. She always seems to be having a bad day. From interrupting to finishing my sentences (incorrectly)when I'm answering to speaking in a condescending tone when she thinks I'm haven't followed Powell's instructions, she's the reason I haven't returned.
