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.

Dr. Smith is a caring, well informed provider. He spoke directly to me not into the computer and comes to the appointment well informed of my case. Wish all providers were as good as he is.

I wish I could give Doctor Smith higher numbers. He is so much better than very good!! I feel SO Blessed to have him as my Doctor. He is knowledgeable, actually listens to his patients and takes the time to research a problem. I wish more Doctors could be more like him.

Dr. Smith is such a compassionate and concerned doctor. Is willing to work you in to his schedule and not send you to Emergency Room.

I'm a human being, not a chore
I will never forget the first time I met Bruce Smith. He didn't introduce himself. He did not ask my name. He just began asking questions without making eye contact or acknowledging me as a person. H
