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.

An amazing doctor with real concern for his patients.

I recently moved to this area, and feel so lucky that I found Dr. Thornton for my dialysis care. One of the few doctors I have had that actually listens to me and shows concern for every aspect of my well-being. A really, really nice man.
