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.

I love both Dr. [...] and Dr. Cory! My kids have been seeing both of them since birth and they love them. They are amazing at listening and answering questions! I always recommend them!

We love seeing Dr Cory! He explains things, takes his time and has a great laid back approach. We switched our insurance when they switched medical groups so that we could continue to see him!

I wish I could give negative stars. After agreeing upon a slow vaccination schedule for our special needs child we were bullied into giving 5 vaccines all at one by a nurse in their office. She did not consult with either Dr before administering the vaccines. 8 days later our child had a reaction that landed him in the ER twice. We showed up to the office at our scheduled apt time and were turned away after waiting over 40 minutes to be seen. They injured our child and are refusing to see us now
