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.

Dr Waickus is absolutely wonderful. Bedside manner is outstanding. Good listener. So glad I started with her after my wife recommended her.

I am also a physician so it is difficult to leave a bad review for another doctor. However, I had a terrible experience with Cindy Waickus. I went to her because we have a mutual acquaintance. The entire visit she was judgy, sarcastic, and rude. She seemed to lack all basic empathy. If she treats a professional colleague this way, I don't even want to think about how she treats her other patients. People like her are the reason the public doesn't trust doctors any longer.
