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 am an ER RN and many patients feel compelled to explain what a great doctor Dr. Cathey is and some say that he has saved their lives.

I want to Thank you Dr. Cathey & Nurse Shelly for taking care of me through the years! There are not many Physicians left that are like Dr. Cathey who truly cares about his patients. Its so sad to hear he’s retiring & you will be deeply missed by so many. I certainly understand though & will always be grateful for the level of kindness & compassion I received while under your care. I wish you all the best & God Bless you Dr. Cathey...

Dr. Cathey is the best doctor I have seen. He takes the time to listen and checks on your progress the next time you come in.

Not good while in hospital for 8 days. He was working ER and could not take 5 minutes to check on me and update what diagnosis was. Took 4 days before he ever called in a specialist. More than once said he would come in and update family and we waited and waited and he never showed up. Very disappointed.
