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.

Took x-rays of my hand before he even saw me. Reviewed the x-ray when he came in; did not allow me to give him my history. Dismissed my symptom as arthritis (a prior condition). Turned out I tore a ligament in the hand, which he completely missed. I went to see another doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment. Terrible experience.

For starters Dr. Charles F. Mess has the appropriate training and specialty credentials that I need for my shoulder surgery. Acquiring appointments has been very reasonable. He has been engaging and practical in my interactions with him.
