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. E
He makes you feel comfortable and confident by the way he speaks to you. He has a way of putting things in perspective and putting you at ease. Very happy with my interactions with Dr. E

Dr. C is very patient oriented, but he puts a unique spin on your relationship with him. He says what is happening, he lays out all the options and you both set up an agreed upon resolution. Walking into his office and his bright smiling face is such a welcome change to other physicians. He is remarkable and all the staff are amazing as well.
