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.

Awful doctor, my dad was seeing him and Pat Edwards that works there, did not listen, we had to switch doctors as now my dad has possible lung cancer and was never found at their office, nor did they do anything to help!

Does not listen to patient - shows no trust. Would not even discuss the actual reason for the visit, instead he focused on an unrelated symptom and referred me to another physician.

He is an excellent physician. He may sometimes seem like he in in a hurry, just let him know you want to talk and he will discuss all of your issues with you.
