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.

Patient listener and thorough
Dr. Heatwole was so incredibly patient. He listened thoughtfully as we explained in detail what was going on and shared our fears & concerns. It was clear that he had read through our mom's lengthy medical history and asked questions relating to past issues for better understanding. Our time was not rushed and we feel like we have a plan to begin to address what's going on and explore possible treatments. We cannot possibly recommend him more. Thank you Dr. Heatwole!

Doesn't listen
Dr. Heatwole was rude and condescending during an in-office visit. He repeatedly shushed us (yes, really!) and wrote inaccurate notes on what we told him. He refused to look at the previous medical records that had been sent by the referring neurologist because he wanted to 'start fresh' and ordered duplicate bloodwork (that had just been done three days prior). He refused to answer our questions. He seemed irritated that we kept him waiting even though we were on time with all pre-visit paperwork filled out beforehand (which he ignored anyway). Avoid!
