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. Dempsey made me feel very comfortable. He listened to all my concerns and explained things to me in my terms not doctor terms. I feel much better about my upcoming surgery after my visit with him. Thank you Dr. Dempsey for being a kind and caring doctor.
