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.

I have had many good doctors. Dr. Beals is a first class health care professional. I have had many major surgeries, so to consider a doctor who has not done a surgical procedure on me, is a testament to her caring, her skill, her qualities as a human being. I have been fortunate to have many good doctor's. Skills, personality, professionalism, empathy. For someone with her year's of experience to still be as good and as kind and caring as she is, in my mind, is truly remarkable. Her ability to analyze a complex issue and communicate it to a patent is as good as I have seen. I have had heart issues since the age of 32, I am now 65. Someone with her impressive set of medical knowledge, approach to her patients, makes her not only a great doctor, but even more important. A great human being. Someone with both her medical skills and humanity skills deserves many year's more to spread her good nature, knowledge and cheer to the World. Frank - 09/24/2020.

Dr. Beals is knowledgeable and caring. She listens to her patients and spends time with them. Most of the time you will have to wait past your scheduled time to see Dr. Beals. I don't mind the wait time because I know Dr. Beals is spending the same quality time with another patient that she spends with me. She is worth the wait.
