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.

It's real bad!
Does not care one bit. You bring up an issue and he says ' would you like a referral' Always wait over an hour for the rushed 15 min. Terrible! Go to the checkout and need an appoinment in 6 months. We don't do that , call us in November. Whole opperation needs to be shut down

Dr Filson was very knowledable. He was a good listener and answered all our questions. Took his time in explaining thetreatment plan. Went over blood work so we understood. Gave us a copy of the results. Office staff were very pleasant. Wasn't rushed by nurses or the Dr.The one who made our next appoint was kind and spoke to both of us in a pleasant personable way.

Horrible doctor
This doctor is all about making money and nothing else. He’s rude and obnoxious. He does NOT care about his patients at all. Avoid this man at all costs.

Great Family Doctor
Dr. Filson treats 3 people in my home. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We are in there every couple of months. We moved from Ohio a few years ago and were worried about finding a good family doctor. Dr. Filson is such a great Doctor. The staff has been great and very friendly and courteous. We trust him to manage our multiple medical conditions. We are also quickly in and out of appointments. Not wasting hours waiting, as some Doctor offices.

Rude
I’ve never had a doctor talk to me in such a condescending manner and tone. Zero compassion, zero emotion. Treat patients as if we’re an annoyance to him and then doesn’t understand we’re upset. Has nurses stand in the room if he feels “unsafe” with a patient. Perhaps the medicinal field wasn’t the best career choice for Chad

Wish I could give a zero
Uncaring, no compassion, rude doctor and staff. I am in need of medical attention and was promised a couple referrals. That never happened. When I called I was hung up on. When I went in, I was basically told we’ll get to it when we get to it. Anyone that goes to Filson is an idiot.
