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.

Was attentive and took the time to explain the MOHS procedure for my father. Very good care.

Always in a hurry. Dr. Love performed MOHS twice on the same spot and cancer is still present. Save your time and pain - go somewhere else!

This doctor runs cheap, dirty clinics and doesn't even work his office. He doesn't even live in Iowa. He employee Physician Assistants who he works into the ground. Been here twice .. different locations each time and the staff is rude and pushy! I've never been able to actually see Dr. Love. I don't like this place and won't go back. Guess you can say I'm not feeling "the love"
