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.

I have been a patient of Eric Trautwein for over 15 years. His knowledge and approach to my healthcare is excellent. I feel he goes beyond his superb science of doctoring and relates to me on a human emotional spiritual level. No matter what the issue , a bad flu or high cholesterol I leave his office feeling "take care of."

After over a decade of care I can confidently say Trautwein is a life saver and a life changer. He is gentle, patient, caring, and funny. I always feel like he truly has my best interest at heart. He has cautiously and kindly helped me thrive despite several complex and long term health issues. He takes fantastic care of my older parents as well as myself and my husband. I could not recommend him more highly.
