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 French is always professional and friendly. Always answers all your questions in a way you can easily understand.

While I like Dr. French, getting under the umbrella of Ohio Health seems to have derailed the office as a whole. It was confusing and difficult to receive prescription refills, and after speaking to family members who are physicians I realized that I was being overscheduled for unnecessary appointments. I wouldn't mind staying with Dr. French, but will be searching elsewhere for a less confusing and more trustworthy office.

I like this guy a lot! We spent 30 minutes together on a new patient first visit. He listens. He offers useful comments and advice. He is not remotely inclined to push meds at you.He is candid about the value of various tests and procedures. He is personable and has a sense of humor. This was perhaps the BEST visit I have had with ANY physician in a very long time.
