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. Branum is a character, but his sense of humor and low country charm makes him approachable which explains his confident aura. I felt secure and at ease under his care.

Arrogant, condescending man. Perfers not to answer specific detailed questions. I'm assuming it's because he doesn't review the patient's chart. I certainly hope it's not because he doesn't know the answers. And if he doesn't know the answer he needs to lose his ego and do some research
