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.

My son WAS a patient here, it took them 2 months to give me a 2 sentence letter for his school about his diagnosis (he was already out for the summer by the time I got it) and took them weeks to respond about his medication not working. Thank God his medications aren't for grand Mal seizures or anything, never sent out an order for an EEG, horrible communication, not the best bedside manner at all, ignored most of what I was saying as my sons primary caregiver, but absolutely listened to his father who is barely around and this is the first appointment in 11 years he's been to for ANYTHING. All of this was expressed in the appointment, doctor ignored. I'd highly suggest if you care about your kid getting the best care, to go anywhere else.

Could not explain a brain MRI. Had to call radiologist to explain possible chiari. Radiologist said it was nothing to worry about. Got defensive when started asking questions about child's symptoms and Chiari symptoms. Said they didn't match up yet every single one did. Finally went to a chiari specialist and she discovered child's herniation was 7mm and needed decompression surgery because lack of CSF flow. Specialist also discover tethered cord which Covenant completely missed even though I had mentioned constipation issues. Completely ignored my concern! After decompression and tethered cord release surgeries through a chiari specialist our child is a much different and happier. Don't waste your time here!
