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.

Best Doctor Hands Down!
Dr. Mussenden has not only the best "bedside manner" but is a great physician, and not only concerned about your physical well being but also takes interest in your mental health as well. She is an excellent gynecologist and has many facets to her medical practice.

I could not recommend Dr. Mussenden based on my treatment. Everything she told me was either a lie or meant to misinform. I told her on three separate occasions the only procedure I was consenting to and she instead did what was convenient and probably more profitable for her. She ended my life in 1 hour and then after surgery (approx 6 months) when I had to face how much trouble I was now in, she feigned as if she never heard, didn't know, or understand my issues. This was my first experience seeing her for a gyn issue and she failed from my perspective - but I'm sure it was a win from hers.

FCaryl Mussenden is a practicing christian and I am delighted about that! Her groom is a practicing christian as well! Together they are incredible!

They impart unconditional love and care always to all whom they encounter. They are are a package deal. I've been her patient for 25+ years.
