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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Esther Blanks- Sheard is one of the best doctors I have been lucky enough to see in my over 70 years of living. She is thorough, knowledgeable, patient, professional, kind and friendly. All the qualities that make her the wonderful physician she is.

Attentive and patient
This is a doctor that listens to what you are saying. She doesn't rush through her appointments. I have gone to her with a laundry list of questions and she answers them ALL.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Blanks for seven years. I always try to seek out the best in my area through recommendations from Dr.s, nurses, and friends. She is one of the best internal physicians I have seen and very good at diagnosing. She listens to her patients and gives them the time they need. I’ve been very pleased with her care even though at times you might be told something you don’t want to hear such as diet or lifestyle changes. She truly cares about her patients.

Dr. Blanks has been my Primary Care Physician for over 5 years. I feel that Dr Blanks genuinely listens to my concerns and allow me to be active in the decisions concerning my care. I've had previous physicians that didn't listen or even have a dialogue with me. They would look at test results and prescribe medication. I had the feeling that some of my previous physicians didn't treasure a self diagnosing or non medication / natural resolve for an issue. I appreciate Dr. Blanks allowing me to succeed naturally and when I fail we decide on an approach with a prescribed medicine.
