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.

Highly recommend Dr. James. She is extremely caring and knowledgeable. She takes time with each patient to answer all questions and give the best care.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. James?
I brought my daughter to see Dr James for a year, but then switched pediatricians. Dr James is very nice and will spend a long time with you, but I wanted something different a variety of reasons: 1) The office doesn't open til 9am, and you can't get an appt until 9:30, but often later. As a working mom, this just didn't cut it. 2) Dr James' advice was often based on "how she raised her kids". I heard many of the same stories 3-4 times.
