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.

Exceptional Doctor
I can not say enough about Dr. Johnson. He took his time to explain what was going on and why. I was free to ask any questions without feeling rushed and in doing so left feeling very confident on the decisions made. He sets a high bar for all other doctors. Thank you Dr. Johnson.

When I was first diagnosed, Dr Freedom was Chief Resident and a damned good doctor then. He was thorough in his diagnosis, catching a second incident of cancer in the esophagus. Today, he is even better, more knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. I cannot say enough about hime as he and the rest of the docs on staff at Metro saved my life.

Dr seems ok, institution can use an appoitment system that is more efficient. Waiting 2 hours for a scheduled appointment seems to be the norm. Dr. is apologetic, but I have to believe the system can be fixed.
