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.

Loved working with Dr. Metcalf. He was my doctor since 1996 and he will be missed. I do wish him well in a much-deserved retirement.

I saw Dr. Metcalf twice due to being referred with a year or so between the visits. Each time I didn’t feel as if he was paying attention to exactly why I was referred because all he talked about was my obesity, as if I didn’t already know I was overweight. He is one of those doctors who will not attempt to rule out possible diagnoses but rather blame everything on your obesity. Complete waste of time. Luckily there are many other rheumatologists that you can be referred to now !!!!
