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. Goforth treated me this morning at Piedmont urgent care and was awesome! I had been there earlier in the week and I wasn't responding to treatment. Was very thorough and gave me excellent care! By evening I'm feeling so much better and his added medication and advice has been perfect for making me well again. Such a kind and caring man. God Bless You Dr.
