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.

Hello Dr. Baird! I’m a former patient of yours in Fortuna. We relocated to Fredericksburg, VA 14 years ago and wanted you to know that I have received healthcare at your alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical School! Lezlie and I love living and working here in Fredericksburg, but will always be thankful for your style as a ‘country doctor’ who gave practical health advice, and your never being hesitant to use a little silver nitrate to clean the excess closing skin on my in-dwelling Supra catheter- rather than cutting and risking infections and longer healing periods! We hope life is treat you and yours well. And your awesome front office, nurses and other good folks! Jim & Lezlie Estes
