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.

Courteous and caring
Excellent, timely service for my annual check up.

My appointment with Dr. Drew
Dr. Drew (and his PA) were empathetic, knowledgeable, professional and caring. My concern was an 'on the mend' broken nose from a ranch accident. I found I was in good hands and learned what my options were based upon how my nose was healing. I was heard and helped. I would recommend their services to everyone.

Dr. Drew eased my mind that my sinuses & throat were in good condition after a sinus infection was cured by an antibiotic. He cares & has a good bedside manor!

Professional and straightforward
Went in for consult about tonsillectomy. He checked my ears, nose, and throat and not just my throat. He was quick but thorough, and very straightforward with his recommendations moving forward.

Treated as a potential surgical case.
I experienced a delay in receiving medical attention for tinnitus with appointments booking out multiple weeks. The doctor initially treated me as a potential surgical candidate rather than a patient in need of immediate assistance. Consequently, I was discharged without a treatment plan, with the doctor suggesting that the condition would likely resolve on its own. I am deeply disappointed and uncertain about the appropriate course of action.

Extremely unprofessional
Was seen at his office today after a referral from my primary for ongoing inner ear issues. He ignored my concerns, gaslight me about my history and was extremely condescending. I really expected more from a medical professional and l hope this review guides others to avoid such an unpleasant and unprofessional interaction.

Dr. Drew is amazing!
Dr. Drew is such a great doctor. He took the time to explain everything and address all of my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. My husband saw him a few years ago for a couple things and has always spoken highly of him. You are in good hands with Dr. Drew.
