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.

We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Pocha as a provider. Extremely thorough and does not miss anything. Addresses all concerns. Highly recommended.

Caring, compassionate and professional. Drove 100 mls to visit her after I searched the internet for a liver transplant physician. Explained everything very thorough. Left relieved with a clear plan and instruction.
