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 sister and I both have been going to Dr. Atkins for years. In my opinion you will not find a more compassionate, caring doctor. And above all she really takes the time to listen to you. You are a person to Dr. Atkins, not just another number. I feel so blessed to have found her.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Akins?
Very caring and listens to concerns without seeming to be pressed to go on to next patient. If she doesn't know the answer she takes the time to research and gives an explanation in a manner that is easily understood by the patient. Very thorough.
