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.

Her personal preferences come before your care.
After a year of prescribing a medication I needed, she suddenly decided she was 'no longer comfortable' doing her job, despite no new information, and despite all the medical data there is on the success of my medication with competent doctor supervision.She needs to leave the medical field if her personal preferences deserve more credence than the actual patient and medical data.
